Ice
Frozen water in cubes or crushed form, indispensable in Mexican drinks and chilled preparations. Essential for aguas frescas, micheladas, raspados, cocktails, and ice-cold ceviche. In Mexico, artisan ice raspados topped with chamoy, tamarind, or fresh fruit are a beloved street food tradition. Crucial for serving seafood at the correct temperature.
