What are you drinking this week?

I have been enjoying some variations with homemade pineapple tepache, today (Sunday) just having it straight up.

Trinidad Sour, one of my favorites!
I love tepache!! I only discovered it this year. Do you let it ferment enough to become alcoholic?

Mostly cider this week for me
- Usually yes - I often make the tepache then do a second fermentation with pineapple juice (just strain the tepache back into its pitcher, mix with pineapple juice, stir daily till fizzy) because I am always disappointed with the amount I get from a gallon batch - ginger beer when I make it in a gallon pitcher makes a gallon. Tepache, so much displacement from the peels! This way it gets lightly alcoholic but not so dry.
  
  I've noticed the same thing; the peels take up so much space. Have you tried doing an anaerobic second fermentation to really crank up the fizz and encourage yeast growth?
Went to the beach and busted out some Wray and Tings! Well, we used Rum Fire, but it was fantastic and refreshing.
A paloma yesterday. Not my favorite version (Jarritos Toronja, lime, tequila) as I didn't want to go shopping but with San Pellegrino Pompelmo & tequila. Nice and simple highball. I poured the tequila & soda in a measuring cup to combine, then over ice, topped with more soda to fill.
