Refajo
Refajo is a beloved Colombian cocktail that perfectly marries the crispness of beer with the sweet, fruity notes of Colombiana soda. This effervescent drink is not only refreshing but also a celebration of Colombian culture, often enjoyed during social gatherings, barbecues, and festive occasions. The addition of fresh lime slices elevates the drink, providing a zesty contrast to the sweetness of the soda. It's the perfect way to cool down on a hot summer day or to simply enjoy a taste of Colombia wherever you are.
