Tepache is a traditional Mexican beverage made from fermented pineapple peels, sugar, and spices. It is typically lightly alcoholic and has a refreshing, sweet, and tangy flavor. The fermentation process usually takes a few days, allowing natural yeasts to develop, which gives tepache its characteristic fizz.
Often served chilled, tepache is enjoyed on its own or as a mixer in cocktails. It is commonly found at street vendors and local markets in Mexico, where it is served in cups or jars. Tepache reflects the rich culinary heritage of Mexico and is a popular choice during warm weather.
