The new freshness of Carta Ajena

Mango biche soda: nostalgia with a Caribbean kick
The first sip tastes like a memory. The mango biche soda recalls those school afternoons when the green mango cart was a must-stop. Its cordial blends green Tommy mango, citric acid, sugar, and a pinch of hot pepper. The result is a tangy, refreshing flavor that wakes you up, with a playful spicy finish that surprises the palate. It’s the drink for those who crave energy, authenticity, and a wink to coastal childhood.
Perfect to pair with fresh dishes or simply to add flavor to an afternoon conversation in the central patio of Carta Ajena.
Albahaca soda: roots and aromas that connect
If closing your eyes and tasting the Caribbean had a flavor, it would be this. The albahaca soda is an aromatic journey inspired by the “tinteros” who still roam the streets of Cartagena. Its reduction blends mint, basil, lemongrass, thyme, and elderflower, gently sweetened with sugar and enhanced with citric acid. Light, fragrant, and green-fresh, it cleanses and reconnects.
Every bubble carries a memory of home, of those herbal teas that healed, calmed, and comforted. Here, reinterpreted, they become a sophisticated yet deeply local drink.
Ideal for those seeking balance, wellness, and an experience that feels natural —almost ritual.
Corozo soda: color, flavor, and celebration in a glass
The Caribbean is served in bright red. The corozo soda is made from a corozo shrub, with fruit extract, sugar, and a touch of apple cider vinegar to highlight its character. Refreshing, intense, with a perfectly balanced sweetness, it’s a liquid reminder of what it means to celebrate in the Caribbean.
Corozo is not just a fruit, it’s identity: found in festivals, in markets, and now on your table at Carta Ajena. Its ruby-red color invites you to toast, and its flavor is pure Caribbean energy.
A soda to feel proud of, to pair with a vibrant lunch or to kick off the evening with freshness.
More than three: the Carta Ajena soda family
While the stars of the season are the new mango biche, herbal, and corozo sodas, at Carta Ajena you can also enjoy other refreshing and fruity combinations.
