1. Cafè amb llet

Traditionally enjoyed in the morning, cafè amb llet is an ample cup of milky coffee.
2. Tallat & Cafè Sol

Need a fortifying caffeine fix? Try a tallat , a small cup of coffee with a dash of milk. A cafè sol is just plain coffee. In the summer, opt for either one amb gel (with ice).
3. Cigaló

For coffee with a bite, try a cigaló (carajillo), which has a shot of alcohol, usually conyac (cognac), whisky or rom (rum).
4. Orxata

This sweet, milky-white drink made from a tuber (tiger nut) is a summertime favourite.
5. Granissat

Slake your thirst with a cool granissat , a crushed-ice drink, usually lemon flavoured.

Stay hydrated with aigua mineral (mineral water) – amb gas is sparkling, sense gas, still.

Chocolate lovers swoon over this chocolate-milk concoction, one of Spain’s most popular sweet drink exports.
