This drink is nothing but horchata and dark rum. I love both of those ingredients, but I have to say, for $9, it wasn't tasty enough. It's a classic milk punch, like the New Orlean's Milk Punch at Papa Mojo's with bourbon and nutmeg, but that one succeeded better because there was less ice. The ice definitely watered down the horchata in this drink, and thus the horchata flavor and spices were hardly noticeable.
As a cold drink, La Leche was okay, but I think it could shine as a warm drink in the winter.

Most of my posts on nightlife feature a specific cocktail that I’ve enjoyed rather than focusing on the atmosphere of the bar, club, or wine bar that I’m patronizing. Largely, that’s because I care more about what’s in my glass than I do what’s playing on the speakers. However, I am far more likely to enjoy neighborhood dive bars and wine bars than I am a club or anywhere with loud music. I’ll still give the latter a try, and if the beverages are inventive and fun, I’ll be back no matter the soundtrack!
