    Hi and thank you so very much for your wonderful receipts. I grew up in Quito and my grand used to take us to El Mercado Central to a lovely lady that made a wonderful drink every Sunday.
    I think the drink had: Pilsener, eggs, sugar and some green leaves. Do you know or heard of this drink if so, please would you let me know so I can make it for my kids.
    Ps: I was a really happy child on Sundays! jjjjj

      Hi Grace – We had something similar at the mercado in Loja. I usually avoided that one (or any green ones with eggs), though if I remember correctly the green leaves were usually alfalfa. My favorite was the carrot/beet/orange juice drink. My mom was more adventurous, I’ll ask her if she can confirm what’s in the one you mentioned.

      I remember having something like what you describe, minus the green leaves, at Mercado de San Roque. We used to call it ponche de cerveza con huevos. I think it was just beer, milk, raw eggs, sweet spices, and sugar, all mixed together in a blender and served in tall glass mugs! Very foamy and DELICIOUS!!

    Hi,

    I just got back from studying abroad in Ecuador. It’s such a beautiful country. Do you have a good recipe for caipirinha? Or, do you have a recommendation as to which brand of caƱa is best? I’m on a hunt to find caƱa in the USA and some websites sell Zhumir, but I’m not sure if that’s the best. Any thoughts?

    Thank you

      My friend from Brazil makes the best caipirinhas and I’ll share her recipe (and technique). I don’t have any specific brand recommendations for aguardiente or cachaca. I usually bring a bottle of Zhumir back from Ecuador, more for nostalgia than quality, and usually buy Colombian aguardiente in the US (since it’s the easiest one to find). There are a lot more options for cachaca, but I’m not an expert on the “best” ones – I’ll ask my friend for some recommendations when we make the caipirinhas.
