@tyghebright I have three brands to try right now. This was a good one.

@Kurtroedeger

I love Tepache, which isn't really booze. It's about as alcoholic as kombucha (around 2%). But since I discovered it, it's my favorite refreshing beverage.

This is my favorite brand. More pineapple-y than others I've tried.

@tyghebright I will have to hunt that down. 🤤

@tyghebright the pineapple spice or the pineapple chili?

@tyghebright ohhh, they have a 12 mix pack.

Ordered!

@tyghebright shipping update, says I should get it tomorrow. Holy cow that was fast.

Looking forward to a yum weekend.

@tyghebright

Mmmmm, these are yum.

Thank you for the recommendation.

@Kurtroedeger @tyghebright
Pineapple chili sounds right up my street. 😋

@stueytheround @tyghebright

Goes well with salty balls 😏

Not too spicy, just a nice hint on the front of the tongue, so still refreshing.

@Kurtroedeger I'm a big fan of chili with tropical fruit in general, but I've never had it as a drink. I'm going to see what they have at my local international supermarket. If not, I will have to find a way to make an approximation.

@stueytheround @Kurtroedeger

There are instructions online for making tepache. It's basically fermenting the skin and core from a pineapple and adding whatever other spices and fruits you want.

This brand tastes a little more distinctly pineapple-y than some others I've tried. I suspect they either include more pineapple in the ferment, or add a touch of juice after.

@tyghebright Ah. So essentially a fruit beer or cider?
Cool. @Kurtroedeger

@stueytheround @Kurtroedeger

But very low alcohol, around 2%. Ready in three days.

@stueytheround @Kurtroedeger @lebrak

This looks like a good recipe.

@tyghebright Brilliant #StueyBookmark 😁
Thank you. @Kurtroedeger @lebrak

@tyghebright @stueytheround @lebrak looks yum. I have a small homebrew set up that would make this easy to do. Just need to track down the piloncillo

@tyghebright @stueytheround the ingredients note juice
Sweetened with agave too

@Kurtroedeger

Happy for other folks to discover them!

@tyghebright

I just put the watermelon jalapeno in the fridge. That sounds yum too

@tyghebright
This is a dry cider, less sweet. It works well, but the pineapple could be a little more forward in the mouth

@tyghebright @Kurtroedeger

Have you tried Ace pineapple? Sweet and pineappley.

@evistre @tyghebright
I've had that multiple times so I skipped it when grabbing these. The one from earlier tonight was a bit more pineapple-y than ace. 🤤🤤

@Kurtroedeger @tyghebright hmmmm
