Agua de Arroz, also known as Horchata de Arroz, is a beloved Mexican rice-based beverage with roots tracing back to the Moorish influence on Spanish cuisine. When Spanish colonizers arrived in Mexico, they adapted the original tiger nut-based horchata using locally available rice. The drink became a staple of Mexican culture, sold at street stands and family gatherings throughout the country. Today it remains one of the most popular aguas frescas, particularly in hot weather.
