Inka Cola - A Peru Soda
Inca Kola or spelled like Inca Cola is a soft drink in Peru that has a sweet fruity flavor sometimes compared to bubblegum.
Or so they say. I found it tasted like a light Mountain Dew. The maker is 60% owned by The Coca-Cola Company. Inca Kola is exported to parts of South America, and while it has not enjoyed major success elsewhere, it can be found in Latin American specialty shops worldwide.
Inca Kola is yellowish-gold in color, and sold in glass and plastic bottles of various sizes and cans of the same color with an Inca motif. Inca Kola is sold in supermarkets in the United States in 2 liter bottles, cans, and individual bottles.
On January 22, 2009, Inca Kola partnered with D'Onofrio, an iconic Peruvian ice cream brand owned by Nestlé, to launch an Inca Kola flavored popsicle.
I tried Inca Cola while I was in Peru in City of Lima first time of April 2009.
I was in love the first sip I had it. It was very refreshing and I wish i could take a whole case with me back to Canada.
It did not quite taste like bubble gum but more like a light Mountain Dew. I read reviews on the internet of people saying it tastes like Pepto Bismo, but that would be harsh.
It is a good drink to have with by itself or with sea food or something salty.
Overall If your in Peru, Don't be shy, give it a try.

Pisco Sour - A Peru Drink
A Pisco Sour is a cocktail containing pisco, lemon or lime juice, egg whites, simple syrup, and regional bitters like Amargo bitters, though Angostura bitters work if regional bitters are unavailable).
The Pisco Sour cocktail is a type of the Whiskey Sour it was created in the 1920's by some guy named Victor V. "Gringo" Morris at The Morris Bar in Lima. This drink soon became a local favourite. Eventually the local hotels were serving Pisco Sours to International clients as a way to say thank you.
Which made a more world wide hit.
I tried this drink a few times in Peru, from Lima and a few other places. It is a good drink, It has a slight sour taste with some sweetness to it.
I was never a big booze drinker, more for beer,but it was worth a try.
Overall it is worth checking out when in Peru, some people will love , that person could be you.
