Viche is a traditional home-brewed alcoholic drink made from sugar cane popular on Colombia’s Pacific Coast. It used to be illegal but in September 2021 Colombia's senate passed a law declaring the beverage a part of the country’s "cultural and ancestral heritage," allowing also commercial production. Viche has long been used in traditional communities as a ceremonial intoxicant and for medicinal purposes, notably to purge stomach bugs and parasites, and as an aphrodisiac. Viche contains approximately 35% of alcohol. It can be consumed neat but it is often mixed with sugary fruit juices.
