When it is about calming your thrist ;it is recommendble to try the waters of Casilda, a beverage made with cacti and walnuts, besides the waters of graded lemons. But if you want to try stronger drinks you should try the tejate based on mize, caco, flowers, ashes, sugar and seeds, or a good glass of mezcal which is a pretty strong beverage very much appreciated in the region.
