Plant Power Your Cinco de Mayo Celebrations with Dairy- and Soy-Free Horchatas and All Natural Aguas Frescas from Califia Farms
Los Angeles, Calif. (PRWEB) April 29, 2015 -- Califia Farms’ limited edition Horchatas and Aguas Frescas have arrived in the refrigerator aisle of your local Whole Foods Market® just in time for Cinco de Mayo celebrations.
Packed with flavor and lightly sweetened, both traditional Latin classics will put a remarkably refreshing spin on any party. Served on their own or used as a mixer for a favorite Mexican-inspired cocktail or mocktail, Califia Farms Horchatas and Aguas Frescas are like no others on the market and use only the finest ingredients and artisanal processes to achieve guilt-free deliciousness.
The Horchatas are made with Califia Farms’ award-winning Almondmilk, known for its great taste and creamy mouthfeel, combined with a rice milk and tigernut (chufa) milk blend for authenticity, flavor and texture. Available in two flavors: Vanilla Coconut and Classic Cinnamon.
Califia Farms Aguas Frescas come in five refreshing flavors with bright, festive artwork inspired by Mexican mural art and Dia de los Muertos designs. Two new flavors this year are Mango Chili Lime, a slightly spicy take on the popular tropical combination, and Pineapple Ginger, a nuanced flavor upgrade to traditional pineapple juice. These join Strawberry Basil, Kiwi Cactus Lemonade and Watermelon Ginger Lime – all of which are delicious on their own or as mixers in summer cocktails.
