Horchata has been a classic staple in Latinx culture, but when Starbucks debuted their new Sweet Horchata Almond Milk Frap [3], we knew the rice and almond cold drink [4] was going to become mainstream.

Teaquation Cafe in Redwood City, CA, created the pink dream, called Latitiude Zero. The all-natural sip [7] looks to be made by mixing red prickly pear juice with rice milk, and according to Instagram, it's delicious.
