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).
The result is a refreshing summertime treat with a spicy, sour twist that will keep you cool and happy. Just like the pepinadas sold in the streets of Mexico.

To sweeten this yummy delight, I used Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar. It dissolves perfectly during the blending process. Giving it a candied slushy taste with a hint of chile and lime. A flavor combination that can’t go wrong.
