Guarapo (from the Quechua warapu)[1] is a Latin American fermented alcoholic drink derived from sugarcane juice.

"Guarapo" is also a Spanish word for sugarcane juice itself, but in much of Latin America it is used to refer specifically to the fermented product.

It became very popular among the Indigenous population, who consume it primarily at parties and celebrations, including Day of the Dead.

[4] In Cuba, the drink is prepared in rural communities by dissolving honey or panela in water and fermenting it with a type of yeast commonly referred to as cunchos or supias.

Guarapo is particularly well known the Latin American nations of Panama, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Venezuela, Colombia, Bolivia, and Peru.
