A Guide to Peruvian Drinks
Peruvian drinks are as varied as the food. Pisco is the national spirit, the pisco sour is the national cocktail, and the chilcano, pisco with ginger ale and lime, is what Peruvians actually order on a hot day. Chicha morada is the sweet purple-corn drink served with lunch, chicha de jora is its fermented Andean ancestor, and emoliente and mate de coca are the herbal drinks for cold nights and high altitude.
