There's a drink mentioned called Tejuino that I've never tried because it's only found in certain states. Those of you in Jalisco and Guadalajara, what's Tejuino like? Recently, I saw someone on a travel show drinking it with a dollop of nieve de limón, to which the host described as tasting like a margarita. And, according to MC Luka, a great hangover drink, too?

I don't lik tejuino much but my 4yr LOVES it. I guy comes by everyday around 1pm selling it. I don't like it mainly because it is kinda grainy. The taste isn't bad. Kinda salty. I have seen it sold with nieve also.
ReplyDeleteLove that video!! I will now be watching this on repeat from Arlington, VA. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah tejuino isn't everyone's thing, but it's definitely good on a hot afternoon though, kind of like a michelada (depending on how it's made). I guess kind of like a michelada or pulque it's not quite what we're used to in a drink. Sweet but kind of salty, kind of grainy, kind of sour. It took me a while to really come around to tejuino; the nieve is pretty much essential.
ReplyDeleteNow tejate, on the other hand, is a beverage that I'm mostly definitely struggling with...
tejate...what's that?
