A bright, tropical spritz made with pineapple juice, fresh lime, sparkling water, and a few drops of Prismatic Pineapple Tepache hot sauce for a sweet-heat finish.
At A Glance
Rim a glass with lime and togarashi, add ice, then combine pineapple juice, lime juice, and 3–5 drops of Prismatic Pineapple Tepache hot sauce. Top with sparkling water and stir gently.
Ingredients
- 3 oz pineapple juice
- ½ oz fresh lime juice (plus a lime wedge for rimming)
- 6 oz sparkling water (well-chilled)
- 3–5 drops Prismatic Pineapple Tepache hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- Ice
- Togarashi (for rim)
Steps
- Rim a glass with lime, then coat the rim with togarashi.
- Fill the glass with ice.
- Add pineapple juice and fresh lime juice.
- Add 3–5 drops of hot sauce (start small; you can always add more).
- Top with sparkling water.
- Stir gently to combine. Taste and add 1–2 more drops of hot sauce if desired.
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.
