Aguapanela | Local Non-alcoholic Beverage From Colombia | TasteAtlas

Aguapanela

Aguapanela is a non-alcoholic drink mostly associated with Colombia but commonly found in several Central and South American countries. In its basic form, aguapanela combines water (agua) and unrefined cane sugar. It also commonly includes lemon and lime juice.


This refreshing drink is usually served cold, preferably in an ice-filled glass, and garnished with a lime wheel. Sometimes, aguapanela is used as a base for hot chocolate or coffee. The alcohol-laced version is known as canelazo. In Venezuela, similar variety is known as papelón con limón.
