SIDE DISH: Nitro-brewed Horchata… Mothers Day Dining...

Horchata, Sail Away Coffee Co.’s newest flavor coffee combines cinnamon and vanilla in a nitro cold brew coffee.

New Coffee Flavor: Sail Away Coffee Co. has made a name for themselves selling nitrogen cold brew on tap and in cans at restaurants, stores and festivals. Owner Christopher Vetter of Melville announced last month he crafted a new flavor. His love for Mexican culture inspired him to create “horchata,” a sweet, cinnamon-vanilla drink that complements nitro cold brew well.

“Horchata is traditionally a Mexican beverage, with vanilla bean, cinnamon and rice milk,” Vetter said. “We took that same flavor profile and paired it with our coffee. So instead of rice milk, it’s coffee but the nitro-infusion gives it that creamy, velvet texture.”

Sail Away uses natural cinnamon and vanilla bean extract to flavor their signature coffee blend, a mix of Kenyan and Colombian beans. All of the Horchata cans will be locally produced at Sail Away’s brewery in Deer Park.

“It’s a small craft beverage, it’s not mass produced so we’re not adding any sort of chemicals, preservatives or additives,” Vetter said. The new flavor will be sold at stores and festivals, as well as online in bulk packages.
