Pairing Guacamole correctly — a note on horchata

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Guacamole. I ordered it with horchata and the deeply aromatic elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. dried ancho chilli in particular became more prominent in a good way.

Mexican cuisine is a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. The a home kitchen on a Sunday is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Guacamole with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
