A toast to Colombia

A toast to Colombia

In Colombia we love to celebrate life and every moment of joy so there are drinks that are part of such moments.

For example, the aguardiente is one of the most common and representative liquors. This is taken pure or mixed in cocktails and has an unforgettable flavor, distilled from sugar cane and anise, so its flavor is strong, forceful personality and Colombian. Have you tried it?

Now, the exotic drinks are varied … Have you heard of “The canelazo”? a hot drink containing brown sugar and aguardiente, ideal to warm the cold.

Ah! and we can not forget the Chicha, a traditional drink of fermented corn, prepared with honey or sugar and drink cold.

Chibcha is the name of our bar Chibcha’s bar, a tribute to the Chibcha culture which has its origins in the sixth century B.C.

A place where you can taste cocktails prepared by experts from the finest ingredients, an invitation to savor our culture.

Come with your friends and couple ask for a PAISARINA (Aguardiente Antioqueño, muddled with limes & sugar), or enjoy a COLOMBIA LIBRE (Ron Viejo De Caldas & Natural Lime, Topped with Coke) or try a CRAZY CHIBCHA (Flaming layered cocktail of Kahlúa topped off with Sambuca & served with two shots: Blue Curacao and Baileys) … Among many other delicious options, you will spend an unforgettable moment.

We hope you in CHIBCHA’S BAR – A unique area of Pequeña Colombia Tampa.
