Cocktails and Alcoholic Beverages
South Ameica has a variety of national alcoholic beverages. Some are known as "national drinks".
Cazuela en Champagne
The ever popular Bellini has nothing on this long-time favorite cocktail from Chile. Frozen pureed fruit of your choice, champagne or sparkling wine, yummm. It's often served with or instead of dessert and you can also create a non-alcholic version.

Chicha
"Chicha is a fermented beverage brewed by the indigenous people of the Andean region. It is traditionally prepared from a specific kind of yellow maize and is usually referred to as chicha de jora. It has a pale straw color, a slightly milky appearance, and a slightly sour aftertaste. It is drunken either young and sweet or mature and strong."
