Sweet, light, refreshing, juicy Pineapple Tepache recipe. Forget about having margaritas for Cinco de Mayo. Have this bubbly, probiotic drink instead.

All I can say is… WOW… this drink is AMAZING! Sweet, light, refreshing, juicy Pineapple Tepache recipe. Forget about having margaritas for Cinco de Mayo. Have this bubbly, probiotic drink instead.

Pineapple Tepache is a fermented pineapple drink popular in Mexico. I learned to make it from my husband’s grandmother, Queta. Pineapple, brown sugar, water and cloves are placed in a glass jar or pitcher and allowed to ferment for 3 days.

I couldn’t tell, but there may be trace amounts of alcohol in this drink. Probably as much as secondary fermented kombucha. You won’t notice it and all ages drink it in Mexico. On the flip-side, If you want an alcoholic drink, you can let it ferment longer or mix it with some light beer when it’s ready.

Although, if you let it ferment for too long, you’ll end up with pineapple vinegar.

The picture below is what it looks like on Day 1.

Pineapple Tepache will become cloudy in 2-3 days and white foam will form on the surface like the picture below. Scoop out the white foam before drinking. It’s totally harmless.

Strain out the pineapple chunks and serve over ice. The pineapple chunks are delicious to eat too. Enjoy!
