Where To Buy Homemade Champurrado In El Paso

‘Tis the season for tamales, biscochos, buñuelos and a hot cup of champurrado.

For those not familiar with the Mexican beverage, Champurrado is a chocolate-based hot corn, masa-based beverage.

The warm and thick beverage is made with masa de maíz, piloncillo, water, or milk, spices, along with a few other special ingredients. The process of making champurrado is a bit lengthy, but people swear by this drink that dates back to the Aztecs and Maya.

The customary concoction is usually consumed around the holidays beginning in the fall leading into Day of the Dead and during the Christmas season during Las Posadas, where it is served alongside tamales.

By the way, if you are wondering if champurrado pairs well with alcohol, the answer is yes; it goes well with a nip of rum, mezcal, or tequila.
