Navegado

(Candola, Vino Navega'o, Sailed Wine)

Navegado is a Chilean mixed drink that is especially popular in winter. Although there are numerous recipes for Navegado, it is typically made with a combination of red wine, sugar, orange juice, and warming spices such as cinnamon and cloves.


The ingredients are simmered together, and the beverage is then served hot in teacups or mugs garnished with orange slices. It is said that Navegado tastes the best when made at home with local wines from the area. The name of this mixed drink can be translated as sailed wine, referring to the floating slices of orange which look like ships sailing on the sea.
