Caspiroleta

Caspiroleta is a warming alcoholic (sometimes non-alcoholic) drink that most likely originated in Peru, but it is also popular in Colombia. It is a type of eggnog made with milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and usually some kind of alcohol—most commonly rum, aguardiente, or brandy.

The drink is cooked over low heat until it is thick and creamy. It is best enjoyed warm, and it is usually served dusted with cinnamon. In Colombia, the non-alcoholic version is often called candil. It is believed that caspiroleta originated as a warming recovery drink that was enjoyed as a health remedy.
