Frutillada is a popular drink in Cusco, enjoyed mostly between November and January: chicha de jora mixed with frutilla, the local strawberry grown in the Sacred Valley of Urubamba.
Where it’s drunk
It’s sold in Cusco’s chicherías, which announce frutillada with red flags. The custom of using strawberries has been fading and is sometimes replaced with beet or ayrampo coloring.
