Sweet and spicy Mexican shaved ice or sorbet drink From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chamoyada is a sweet and spicy type of shaved ice, or raspado, drink prepared with fruit and flavored with chamoy.[1] It is a part of Mexican cuisine, and is also common in regions of the United States with significant Mexican-American populations. The drink is most commonly prepared with mango sorbet or mango-flavored shaved ice, and thus is sometimes also called a mangonada or chamango.

The drink is essentially a combination of chamoy sauce, shaved ice (or ice cream or sorbet, depending on the preparation), chili powder, and fruit chunks. In certain variations, a whole fruit popsicle, or paleta, is added to the drink and mixed with the shaved ice.[2] The drinking straws served with chamoyadas often have tamarind candy on the outside.
Different flavors of chamoyadas can include fruits like mango, lemon, guava, tamarind, pineapple, and strawberry.
