In Manuel Antonio, refreshing drinks are an essential part of the experience, especially after a day exploring beaches or hiking through the national park. One of the most popular choices is a **natural fruit juice**, or *jugo natural*, made from fresh tropical fruits like mango, pineapple, passionfruit, guava, or tamarind. These are often blended with water or milk and served ice-cold — a perfect way to cool down in the heat.

**Coconut water**, or *pipa fría*, is another local favorite. Sold straight from the coconut at beach stands or roadside vendors, it’s hydrating, slightly sweet, and packed with electrolytes. For something with a little more kick, Costa Rica’s local beers such as **Imperial** and **Pilsen** are widely available and go great with seafood or casual meals by the ocean.

If you’re in the mood for a cocktail, many bars in Manuel Antonio offer tropical classics like **piña coladas**, **mojitos**, and **guaro sour**, made with Costa Rica’s sugarcane spirit called *guaro*. And of course, don’t leave without trying a cup of rich **Costa Rican coffee**, especially in the morning or after dinner — it’s smooth, bold, and one of the country’s proudest exports.
