Refreshing Costa Rican Cocktails
Feeling overheated in the Costa Rican sun? There is nothing quite like enjoying a cold drink, in the pool, under the hot tropical sun to keep you cool. One of our guests’ favorite indulgences at Villa Buena Onda Costa Rica is our swim-up bar, where fresh cocktails are prepared on demand. Many of our cocktails are prepared using Guaro, which is considered the national drink of Costa Rica. This sweet, clear liquor is produced from sugar cane. Like us, we recommend that you always stick to the brand name “Cacique” and avoid bootleg versions.
- Chiliguaro: A spicy shot made of hot sauce and Guaro, served with a slice of lime on top and sometimes a salt rim. It’s a bold choice for those who enjoy a kick of heat.
- Miguelito: A sweet shot made with Guaro, coconut water, and evaporated milk, giving it a tropical flair.
- Guaro Sour: A refreshing cocktail mixing Guaro, lime juice, a pinch of sugar, and club soda served over ice.
- Pura Vida: Translating to “pure life,” this cocktail combines triple sec, orange juice, pineapple juice, a splash of Sprite, and a touch of grenadine. It’s a fruity delight perfect for hot days.
- Piña Colada: This classic mix of rum, coconut, pineapple, and lime juices is perfectly crafted at Villa Buena Onda, offering a balanced and refreshing taste.
