Cola de Mono: Traditional Chilean Holiday Beverage

(5 stars based on 1 reviews)
The literal translation of Cola de Mono is “monkey’s tail.” While the exact origin of this unusual title is unknown, one theory is that this potent Christmas drink will have you swinging like a monkey! Another story links the name to former Chilean President, Pedro Montt. Whatever its origins, you’ll enjoy toasting family and friends at the holidays—or any time of year—with this creamy creation.

    This one is a keeper!

    Susan Campbell from GRASS LAKE, MI

    Best of all, it is made well ahead of time, allowing us to spend time with our guests, rather than in the kitchen or at the bar making drinks. Very good.
