Montañita is not only famous for its surf and nightlife but also for its refreshing and exotic drinks. Whether you’re looking for a tropical smoothie, a traditional local beverage, or a strong cocktail to enjoy by the beach, this coastal town has something for every taste.

Start your day with a **fresh fruit juice or smoothie**, made from Ecuador’s incredible variety of tropical fruits like maracuyá (passion fruit), guanábana (soursop), and naranjilla. Many beachside cafés blend these with coconut water for an extra refreshing touch.

For a taste of something traditional, try **chicha**, a mildly fermented corn-based drink with indigenous roots, or **canelazo**, a warm spiced cinnamon drink with aguardiente, perfect for cooler evenings.

When the sun sets, Montañita comes alive with its famous cocktails. The **caipirinha** (made with sugarcane liquor, lime, and sugar) and **mojito** (with fresh mint and rum) are local favorites. Don't miss the **"Coco Loco,"** a tropical cocktail served inside a coconut, blending rum, coconut water, and fruit juices for the ultimate beachside refreshment.

Whether you're sipping on a natural juice after a morning surf or enjoying a strong cocktail at one of Montañita’s lively bars, the drinks here perfectly complement the town’s fun and relaxed vibe.
