Malta is a type of soft drink ubiquitous in Caribbean countries but little known in the rest of Latin America, or elsewhere for that matter. It’s a non-alcoholic carbonated malt beverage, brewed from barley, hops, and water much like beer. Here at the Factoría Plaza Vieja it’s brewed on premises, as is the beer, and served in a stein with a shot of condensed milk. It’s rich and refreshing, just right for the heat. Enjoy the view of lovely Plaza Vieja.
