Made from: Sugarcane
Tastes like: Alcohol
Best served: Mixed with murky fruit juice in a plastic glass to a chattery room full of confused, sniffing men dressed like Dave Lister. Add deafening reggaeton music to taste.
I've been greatly inspired by this list of regional alcoholic drinks. I'm treating it as something of a to-do list for the next few months.
Upcoming highlights could include:
chorreado: in Mexico State, Morelos and Guerrero, a mixture of whiskey, milk, chocolate, sugar, and, sometimes, egg
huazamoteco: in Durango, alcohol diluted with water, with tequila
torito: dozens of recipes; in Mexico State, it is often tequila or rum mixed with orange juice, vinegar, onion and chili pepper; in Guerrero, mescal cured with vinegar, green chili pepper, onion, tomato, and cheese; in Veracruz, rum with fruits, such as guava, mamey, limon and peanuts, mixed with condensed milk, regular milk, and ice.
Readers connected to the sponsorship departments at Rennies, Tums, Alka-selzter or Pepto-bismol should note that my email address remains at the top of the page. Lets talk.
The list is from the Mexican Mercados website, an idiosyncratic guide to the markets of Mexico. I particularly like their taxonomy of fruit: small, roundish, yellow fruits; baseball-sized fruits and Misc. large fruits which has so far proven very useful.
