Tejuino is the Guadalajara fermented-corn-masa drink, a tangy slightly-sweet refresco served cold with lime sorbet (nieve de limon), lime juice and a generous pinch of salt over ice.
Tejuino is a pre-Hispanic Mesoamerican drink that was popularised in Jalisco over the colonial period. It is made by fermenting fresh corn masa (the same dough used for tortillas) with piloncillo (Mexican brown sugar) for 24 hours, then diluting with water and serving cold with lime juice, salt and a scoop of lime sorbet on top. The drink is a Tapatio summer staple sold from carts and stalls across the city; the Mercado San Juan de Dios and Mercado Corona stalls are the canonical addresses.
