Naranjillazo Recipe

Naranjillazo is a version of canelazo (a traditional spiced hot drink from the highlands in Ecuador) made with naranjilla fruit. Canelazo is a hot alcoholic beverage consumed in the Andean highlands of Ecuador, Colombia, Peru and northern Argentina. A very popular variation of canelazo is naranjillazo, which uses a local fruit called naranjilla. Naranjilla, also known as lulo in Colombia and very close to a cocona in Peru, is an acidic fruit that looks like a fuzzy small orange; it is used in juices and cocktails, ice cream, desserts, and in savory meat stews.
