Blend the roasted corn mixture, cocoa, and spices until finer.
Whisk the granulated sugar and cold water in a pitcher until the sugar dissolves.
Add the powdered mixture little by little and mix quickly for 1 minute.
Let the drink stand for 5 minutes, then whisk again.
Divide among glasses with ice and serve immediately.
💡 Tip: Grind the roasted mixture finely, but do not expect it to become completely silky; pinolillo is drunk with a light grainy texture.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve in an ice-filled glass with fresh fruit or a plain cookie on the side.
