Tepache

Tepache is a fermented Mexican beverage traditionally made from the peel and rind of pineapple, along with the pulp in some recipes, sweetened with piloncillo or sugar and typically spiced with cinnamon. It ferments over a few days at room temperature, developing a mildly sour, effervescent, very low alcohol character, and its name comes from the Nahuatl word for a fermented corn drink, though the modern pineapple version is a later development from the colonial period onward. Tepache is traditionally sold by street vendors in Mexico, served cold, and has more recently gained wider popularity outside Mexico as commercial bottled versions have spread internationally.
