Nieve de garrafa

It is a 100% handmade ice cream due to its manual elaboration; It was made in bottles and wooden buckets, the mixture is made with natural fruits, nuts and these can be based on water or milk depending on the desired flavor, this mixture is beaten in the bottle with a crank and the snow stuck in the edges is removed with a shovel and in this way a perfect carafe is obtained. With cheese, plum, strawberry, vanilla or chocolate, carafe ice cream is one of the cravings that can be enjoyed at any time of the year in Mazatlan.

They are Mazatlan sweets or are also known as coconut chocolates. It is a traditional sweet from the pearl of the Pacific. This product has more than 60 years of tradition in Mazatlan and has become a coveted sweet. The soft ones are chocolate with a coconut flavor and are characterized by having a smooth consistency, hence the name.

Raspados

Burnt milk, tamarind, plum, among others, are the flavors of the rich raspados offered at different stalls in the streets of the city. We recommend you visit the ones in the Glorieta Sánchez Taboada, the ones that sell there are from the original recipe for the raspados de Concordia.
