Tips for the Best Flavor
- Chill everything: Cold sparkling water keeps the spritz crisp and bright.
- Balance the heat: Togarashi + hot sauce adds spice quickly—add drops gradually.
- Juice choice: Use unsweetened pineapple juice for a cleaner, more “tepache” feel.
Variations
- More tepache vibes: Swap sparkling water for non-alcoholic ginger beer (lighter pour) for extra bite.
- More citrus: Add a grapefruit twist or a small splash of orange juice.
- Salted rim option: Mix a pinch of salt into the togarashi for a sharper rim.
What to Serve With It
Pair this spritz with grilled chicken, tacos al pastor, charred vegetables, or salty snacks. The pineapple + lime combo is especially good with smoky foods. For more recipes and products, visit ONIMA Pantry.
FAQ
What makes this “tepache” style?
Tepache is a pineapple-forward fermented drink. This spritz nods to that flavor profile with pineapple + lime and a spicy finish, without fermentation or alcohol.
How spicy is it?
With 3 drops, it’s lightly spicy. At 5 drops, the heat is more noticeable. Stir, taste, and adjust drop by drop.
Can I batch this for a group?
Yep! Pre-mix the pineapple juice and lime juice, then add hot sauce to taste. Pour over ice and top with sparkling water right before serving to keep it fizzy.
