You usually have it in a stem glass or a frozen glass which can cool it without the need for ice, because it melts and cuts the taste of pacharán. It is perfect to have after lunch or dinner, mainly for its digestive action and its sweet taste, so if someday you go out to have lunch or dinner with your classmates from the Spanish school it is normal for the waiter in the restaurant to offer a glass of pacharán after desert.
It is a drink which is usually very dangerous for inexperienced people who don’t know it well, as its pleasant taste invites to have more than a glass, which will produce a hangover the next day, we therefore advise you, if you want to go to your Spanish basic, intensive or dele course in a perfect state, not to drink more than one glass of pacharán.
