In Pepinos Locos, the cucumber is the cup. It is hollowed out and stuffed with chamoy, tamarindo, chile, peanuts and Japanese peanuts, the crunchy flour-coated kind. You get cool, crisp cucumber on the outside and a sticky, sweet-sour, spicy filling inside, with crunch from both kinds of peanuts. It is a snack you eat with your hands, a little at a time, and it makes a mess worth making. Agua de jamaica or a michelagua both work alongside it.
