AGUAPANELA:
Made by dissolving a block of sugarcane into water and
adding lime juice, aguapanela is a common refreshment in Colombia and
neighbouring countries. It is normally made in the home in large batches. (We
imagine because of all the stirring it takes to dissolve the sugar cane).
BOGADERA:
Aguapanela with cinnamon and lemon. Similar to Canelazo
(below) but with lemon.
CHAMPÚS:
It is made with maize and a mixture of fruits and then seasoned
with cinnamon, cloves and orange trees leaves. It is reserved almost exclusive-
ly for the Christmas season. It is also drunk in Peru and Ecuador.
CHAQUETA:
Coffee with aguapanela. Chaqueta literally means jacket in
Spanish, probably because they keep you warm inside.
COFFEE:
Colombian coffee is famous all around the world. Unfortunately
most of the high quality coffee will be exported and some people say that the
coffee you find in Colombia is not of such a high quality.
COLOMBIANA:
Soda drink of tamarindo.
FRUIT JUICES:
You can find excellent fruit juices all over Colombia. Es-
pecially in hot regions or the coastal areas the fruit juices will often be mixed
with sugar, milk or water.
GUARAPO:
Is very similar to chicha. It is probably one of the oldest Indian
drinks made of fermented pineapple or other fruit like grapes. The juice of raw
sugar cane is also called Guarapo.
LULADA:
Is a special drink served in Cali. It is made of the pulp of the local
fruit lulo mixed together with water, sugar and ice cubes. It also can be served
with a shot of Vodka.
SALPICÓN:
Mixed chopped up fruit with either soda or orange juice.
TINTO:
When they ask you if you would like a “tinto” don’t always expect a
glass of red wine. In Colombia it is the name for a small black coffee.
