Canelazo is a hot alcoholic beverage consumed in the Andean highlands of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and northern Argentina.
It typically consists of aguardiente ( sugar cane alcohol), sugar or panela, and agua de canela (water boiled with cinnamon). [1] [2] [3] Canelazo is traditionally made with homemade aguardiente, but bottled alcohol is also used. [4] There are many variations on the recipe. [5] It is often made with fruit juice (typically naranjilla, mora, or maracuyá juice). [5] Cloves are sometimes added, and alcohol is sometimes omitted. [5]
The origins of the drink date back to Colombia, but the drink has long been consumed in the Andes. [4] In Ecuador, the drink is often sold by street vendors during holidays. [6] It is especially popular during Fiestas de Quito or Christmas. [7] In 2005, one business began bottling canelazo without alcohol for export. [8]
Canelazo is consumed in the northern highlands of Peru, specifically around Ayabaca in Piura. [9] It consists of aguardiente with sugar (or chancaca) and cinnamon boiled in water; lemon and chicha de jora may also be added. [9]
