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

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.
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.
