Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 cucumbers
  • 1 tablespoon Chamoy
  • 1 tablespoon Tajin seasoning
  • 2 limes juiced
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions
 

  • Roughly chop the cucumbers and add them to a blender.
  • Add lime juice and sugar to the blender jar. Blend until smooth and juicy.
  • Slather chamoy sauce around the rims and slightly inside plastic glasses. Dip the rims into Tajín seasoning until coated.
  • Cut extra cucumber into sticks and place them inside the prepared glasses.
  • Fill the glasses with ice cubes.
  • Pour the blended cucumber mixture into the glasses and serve immediately.
    • Use chilled cucumbers for the most refreshing flavor and icy-cold texture without needing too much ice.

Notes

  • I chose to keep the cucumber peel on, but if you want to, you can also peel the cucumbers if you feel the skin is too thick.
  • Adjust the sugar depending on how sweet or tart you like your drink.
  • For a smoother texture, you can also strain the cucumber mixture before pouring.
  • Don’t skip the Chamoy and Tajin rim- it’s what gives Pepinadas their iconic flavor.
