Pinches Miches Pica Tamarindo Michelada Mix (94.6cl)

A non-alcoholic, tamarind-forward michelada mixer from Pinches Miches, LLC, founded in 2015 by Mo Muñoz Husein and Nancy Hernandez. The Pica Tamarindo expression centres on tamarind pulp alongside tomato, citrus and a pronounced chile kick, using a hot-fill process in Illinois. The mix requires refrigeration at all times. The simplest serve is over ice in a chamoy- or tajín-rimmed glass, topped with a cold Mexican lager and garnished with a lime wedge. The aroma brings ripe tamarind, tangy citrus, warm chile spice and savory tomato. The palate is sweet-tart tamarind, then rich tomato and savory spices, with chile heat building to a pronounced but controlled peak. The finish has lingering tamarind tartness and a slow-fading chile burn.
