Need a pick me up? Tascalate is a refreshing drink served cold from Chipas, Mexico. Made from ground corn, cocoa, cinnamon, achiote paste and sweetened with brown sugar, Tascalate is considered a natural energizing drink and often served early afternoon as a pick me up.  Look for achiote paste in your spice aisle or nearby Latin market. Using a blender helps to create a creamy, smooth drink. Tascalate is traditionally whipped with a molinillo, a wood whisk used in Mexico to prepare hot chocolate and atole.
