The drink is made from chicha de jora and frutilla. It is mixed with local strawberry, typically collected in the Sacred Valley.[3] The places where frutillada is sold are called chicherías. The chicherías that sell frutillada are identified with red banners.[4]
The custom of using strawberries has been lost, being replaced by vegetable coloring (based on beet or ayrampo) and other ingredients that try to resemble the original flavor.[5]
