Cola de Mono drink and the participation in YA Magazine

December 9, 2011 por Carolina Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe
This week has been very important for this blog, as I was invited to participate on the Christmas special in YA Magazine from El Mercurio newspaper (the largest newspaper in Chile). I’ve always liked this magazine, and when I was living in Chile, I used to buy it. For that, it’s a pleasure for me to participate in this edition with the recipe of Pan de Pascua (Easter Bread). I should also mention that my last name is not Alanis, it’s just a part of my email. But, as I said, this is just a detail. I greatly appreciate the invitation!
Now, in regards to today’s recipe, it’s a Chilean traditional cocktail with a base of a distilled spirit, served in December at Christmas time, many times served with a piece of Pan de Pascua. Those are some important elements of Chilean gastronomy. There are many versions for the preparation, because each family has its own recipe. Here I present you with the most popular version. Cheers!
