'''Chamoyada''' is a sweet and spicy type of shaved ice, or ''raspado'', drink prepared with fruit and flavored with chamoy.<ref name="Schneider2006">{{cite book|author=Deborah M. Schneider|title=¡Baja! Cooking on the Edge|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=sjlY6uOA8PsC&pg=PA21|date=13 June 2006|publisher=Rodale|isbn=978-1-59486-203-8|page=21}}</ref> It is a part of Mexican cuisine, and is also common in regions of the United States with significant Mexican-American populations. The drink is most commonly prepared with mango sorbet or mango-flavored shaved ice, and thus is sometimes also called a '''mangonada''' or '''chamango'''.
The drink is essentially a combination of chamoy sauce, shaved ice (or ice cream or sorbet, depending on the preparation), chili powder, and fruit chunks. In certain variations, a whole fruit popsicle, or ''paleta'', is added to the drink and mixed with the shaved ice.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Marum|first1=Anna|title=Ome Calli, a Mexican ice cream parlor, offers its famous chamoyadas at new Beaverton shop|url=https://www.oregonlive.com/beaverton/index.ssf/2014/08/ome_calli_a_mexican_ice_cream.html|website=The Oregonian|access-date=27 October 2015}}</ref> The drinking straws served with chamoyadas often have tamarind candy on the outside.
Different flavors of chamoyadas can include fruits like mango, lemon, guava, tamarind, pineapple, and strawberry.
