Horchata
Horchata is a traditional Mexican beverage made from rice, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon. It’s creamy, slightly sweet, and has a wonderfully comforting flavor that pairs well with various tamales. Add a sweet combination with light Chicken Tamales. The mild flavor of chicken tamales is enhanced by the rich, sweet notes of horchata, making for a balanced and satisfying meal.
Jamaica
Jamaica, or hibiscus tea, is a vibrant red drink from dried flowers. It’s tart, tangy, and incredibly refreshing, especially when served chilled. Savor with Pork Tamales. The robust, savory flavors of pork tamales are complemented by the tartness of Jamaica, making for a refreshing contrast.
Pineapple
Pineapple agua fresca is made from fresh pineapple, water, and a hint of sugar. It’s a tropical, juicy, sweet, slightly tangy drink, perfect for quenching your thirst on a hot summer day. Enjoy with Spicy Beef Tamales. The sweet and tangy pineapple drink pairs excellently with the spicy beef, balancing the heat and adding a refreshing twist.
Mango
Mango agua fresca is a smooth and luscious drink made from ripe mangoes. It’s sweet and flavorful, with a velvety texture that feels luxurious with every sip. Try it with Chicken & Cheese Cooked in Green Sauce. The slightly spicy and savory notes of green chile chicken tamales are elevated by the sweetness of the mango drink, making for a delightful combination.
Melon
Melon agua fresca, typically made from cantaloupe or honeydew, is light, juicy, and refreshing. It’s a perfect thirst-quencher for hot days. It pairs well with Spicy Chicken & Cheese. The subtle flavors of chicken tamales are enhanced by the light, juicy melon drink, making for a refreshing and satisfying pairing.
