Club Colombia

Club Colombia’s specialty are their incredible cocktails using local fruits, such as the corozo martini or lulada envenenada. Corozo is a tart berry which makes for a killer martini, and the lulada envenenada is a play on a much loved slushie popular in Cali, made with lulo, a fruit very similar to kiwi. Envenenada translates as poison, but don’t worry, that just refers to the rum.
