Tropical Spice Fizz

Tropical Spice Fizz is a refreshing and lightly sparkling Mexican-inspired drink made with pineapple peel, brown sugar, and a blend of warm spices like cinnamon and cloves. This traditional fermented beverage, known as Tepache, offers a delightful combination of sweet and spicy flavors, making it a perfect drink for a hot summer day.
