Fanshop is a very simple Chilean cocktail made with light and smooth lager beer (such as Cristal, Escudo, Heineken, or Stella Artois) and orange-flavored carbonated soda, traditionally Fanta, hence its name. It’s ideal for enjoying ice cold on hot days.

Why is it called fanchop?
It is a drink specific to Chilean culture, and its name is a fusion of the words “Fanta”, the orange soda commonly used in its preparation, and “shop”, a Chilean adaptation of the English word “schop”, which refers to a beer mug or glass.
