De La Calle Tepache

The vivid pink hue of this can hints at the stunning, oil painting-esque sunsets of the Mexican landscape, and this soda is every bit as delicious to drink as it is beautiful to look at. Opuntia, or the prickly pear cactus, are native to the Americas, and have a bright, earthy tartness that one would never know came from a cactus! Tepache is a traditional drink made with the peel and rind of pineapples, and usually fermented in giant barrels before being sold by street vendors in Mexico. Tepache used to be made of corn, before transitioning to the sweeter pineapple. Try this deliciously sweet soda by itself or with some snacks!
