Frutillada is a popular drink in Cusco, Peru, and is generally consumed between the months of November and January. [1] [2]

The drink is made from chicha de jora and frutilla. It is mixed with local strawberry, typically collected in the Sacred Valley. [3] The places where frutillada is sold are called chicherías . The chicherías that sell frutillada are identified with red banners. [4]

The custom of using strawberries has been lost, being replaced by vegetable coloring (based on beet or ayrampo) and other ingredients that try to resemble the original flavor. [5]
