Tascalate (alternative spelling Tazcalate) is a chocolate drink made from a mixture of roasted maize, roasted cocoa bean, ground pine nuts, achiote and sugar or panela, very common in the Mexican state of Chiapas.

Tascalate means tortilla water (agua de tortilla) and their origins can be rooted to their noble prehispanic lineage.
