The sun is out and the days are warm. Let’s make a PEPINADA! 🥒 Don’t know what a pepinada is? It’s a combination of pepino (cucumber) and chamoyada. Similar to mangonadas, this frosty drink is made with blended cucumber, instead of mango, and lime juice sweetened with sugar. The sweet cucumber-lime mixture is then layered into a cup with cucumber bits, and other layers of tangy chamoy sauce, crushed ice and chili lime salt (Tajin).
