Pairing Ajiaco correctly — a note on lulada lulo fruit drink

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Ajiaco. I ordered it with lulada lulo fruit drink and the subtly sweet with tropical fruit elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. achiote annatto in particular became more prominent in a good way.

the bandeja paisa plate is a point of Antioquian cultural pride. The an Antioquia bandeja paisa restaurant is where you learn these pairings — they evolved together. If you've been having Ajiaco with the wrong drink, try it correctly once. It's a genuinely different experience. The restaurant deserves credit for getting this right.
