Mangonada and pepinada are frozen drinks where sorbet meets chamoy, tajín, and fresh fruit for a burst of flavor. Mango, cucumber, and chamoy—meant for each other.
Prep and freeze the cucumber: Peel and cut the ends of the cucumber. Remove the seeds and slice. Store in a zip lock bag and place in the freezer for a few hours until complete frozen.
Prepare the drink: Combined the frozen cucumber, lime juice, sugar, ice, and water in a blender. Process until completely smooth (slushy consistency.) Add more water to loosen it up, if the blender has a hard time breaking down the ice.
Serve: Dip the rim of the glass you are using through chamoy and tajin. Drizzle the inside with chamoy. Then, spoon in diced cucumber, and kiwi. Pour in the blended mix. Stop halfway and make another cucumber and kiwi layer. Fill the glass with the blended mix, top with more cucumber and kiwi. Drizzle chamoy and sprinkled tajin. If you decide to add the tamarind candy, insert on the side. Garnish with the slice of lime. Feel free to spoon out the fruit as you zip away. Enjoy!
