“Can We Get You A Drink?” – Best Angolan Beverages

Today is on us! We will offer you knowledge on Angolan beverages that you really have to taste – not all at the same time, of course!

We had already talked about some of the best Angolan dishes, it's time to talk about the drinks, the best side dishes to go with it. Actually, side glasses.

Let's start:

1. Fresh Fruit Juice

Angola has an amazing variety of fruits with which you can make an incredible amount of juices: mix them and the possibilities are endless.

We know that sometimes making or buying juices can be tricky, so we suggest Angolan juices, which are not far behind the fresh ones. For example, Nutri.

2. Blue

Do you prefer carbonated beverages? Fear not: we have the solution! Blue is the most popular drink in Angola, inside and outside the country.

Various flavors so you can try and repeat!

3. Cuca

Juice was not quite what you were going for. Rather go for something, you know, more adult. If this is the case, then here is the most famous Angolan beer.

With the heat of some of the Angolan dishes, you will understand that nothing feels as good as a cold beer.

4. Pineapple Kissangua

Caution: This is a very strong drink!

The Kissangua is a very typical alcoholic drink in Angola. Its ingredients are ripe pineapple peel, water, brown sugar, clove and grated ginger.

5. Coffee

In a country with coffee tradition of as Angola is, do not think about finishing the meal without drinking a great cup of coffee!

Since we are offering, we’ll give a bonus! A short list of Angolan spirit drinks (over 18 only!):

Kimbombo: It is similar to Kissangua but it has a higher alcohol content, since the duration of the fermentation is higher (over 2 days).

Marufo: Is palm wine, an extracted liquor palm. It is stronger or weaker, accordingly to the fermentation time.

Bibidi: It is a brandy appreciated in the specific region of M'banza Congo and it is a "Cachaça of Cashew".

Cachipembe: Liquor distilled from the fermentation of corn meal, sugar and yeast.

Our advice is not to try them all at once. It will not be pretty!

We hope you enjoyed and you know the drill: Drink in moderation!
