Leche de Tigre

Cultural Context

Leche de Tigre originates from Peru, where it is traditionally served as a refreshing beverage alongside ceviche. This zesty concoction captures the essence of the sea, combining the bright flavors of citrus and fresh herbs with the savory notes of fish stock. It's often enjoyed as a hangover remedy or a flavorful appetizer, and has gained popularity beyond Peru, appearing on menus worldwide as a unique cocktail or shot.
