Like rum, cocoroco is made from sugar cane.[2] Unlawful trade of cocoroco and coca leaves occurs across the Altiplano among Aymara communities living in Chile and Bolivia.[2] Cocoroco is illegal in some neighboring countries such as Chile where all alcoholic drinks with over 55% alcohol content by volume are illegal.
Notable brands of cocoroco include Caiman and Ceibo.
