Restaurant Comal in Cabo San Lucas is one of the most creative and breathtaking restaurants in the area. With a razor sharp focus on contemporary takes on traditional pan-Latin American dishes, any visit to the restaurant is a whirlwind exploration of flavors and traditions.
But it’s not just the food on the plate that shines at Comal. The cocktails are just as exciting. Often drawing from local flavors, but with surprising elements – they are elegant, exciting and always incredibly delicious.
Try this Sonora Comercial cocktail for instance. The signature cocktail of the restaurant, it features eucalyptus, tequila and homemade Tepache – a fermented beverage made from the peel of pineapples. Tepache in itself is wonderfully refreshing over ice on a hot summer day, so even if this recipe gives you plenty of leftover – you’ll be able to enjoy it as a non-alcoholic drink for days.
If you don’t have time to wait for the Tepache to ferment, you have our official permission to buy it from the grocery store.
