Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Michelada de Tepache?

Michelada de Tepache is a Mexican beverage that combines beer with tepache, a fermented pineapple drink. It is typically seasoned with lime, salt, and chili powder, and is commonly consumed as a refreshing, chilled drink during warm weather.

Can I use commercial tepache?

Yes, but ensure it is naturally fermented for the best flavor profile.

What type of beer works best?

A light Mexican lager works perfectly to allow the tepache flavors to shine.

Is it spicy?

The chili powder adds a mild heat that complements the pineapple fermentation.

Can I make this ahead?

It is best served fresh as the carbonation from the beer and tepache dissipates quickly.
