My short list would have to include : #3 Malta (malta india) which is a non-alcoholic Malt beverage with a very robust almost molassis flavor. #2 fresh fruit 'Frescas' preferably Honey Dew, but any ripe fresh fruit will do. Its simply blended up fruit, water, and sweetener ( I prefer the taste of Agave Nectar). a cold 'fresca' with chunks of the fruit is Heaven on a hot day. #1 Is without a doubt 'Koko Samoa' this is popular in samoa and NZ. Its just roasted and smashed coco beans, which harden into a chunk of Koko. The coco bean paste/pulp (koko) is boiled in water for about 30 minutes. What you end up with is a serious wake-up beverage that has lots of roasted coco nibs you get to nibble on as you drink it. I like adding some cream or soy milk to mine and sweeten to taste. WARNING: if you order this online make sure you dont get burnt reject Koko...Ive had this happen....its very sad. Try This Out if you ever get a chance!!!

So much history behind it that it doesn't matter that it taste like crap. They now have it in cans in some places but they filtered it quite a bit and added some other ingrediants to make the taste and smell a little easier to take down. Anything from the Agave plant gets my vote... Pulque, Tequila, Mezcal, Agave Nectar. Mexican Pulque! So much history behind it that it doesn’t matter that it taste like crap.
