On the sun-drenched island of Ibiza, people drink everything from refreshing cocktails to local wines. A drink that has been enjoyed by locals
and
visitors, is the “Hierbas Ibicencas”: an herbal liqueur made with various herbs from the island. This traditional drink is usually drunk after a meal.
Besides the Hierbas Ibencicas, sangria and cava are also popular choices. Sangria is made from red wine with fruit and spices. Perfect after a long, lazy day at the beach. Cava, the Spanish sparkling wine, is often drunk during special occasions and is a favorite of people who want to watch the sun set in the sea.
Cocktails are also not missing from the menus of the many beach bars and clubs. From classics like Mojitos and Margaritas to innovative creations with local ingredients, each cocktail is prepared with love and passion. For those who prefer something without alcohol, there are plenty of refreshing options, such as fresh fruit juices and non-alcoholic cocktails, which are just as tasty.
Discover Ibiza’s unique drinking culture
Ibiza is known for its vibrant nightlife and laid-back beach days. The island’s rich and varied liquor culture is known to far fewer people. From trendy beach clubs to quiet sidewalk cafes, visitors everywhere on the island can experience both traditional and modern drinks.
Local wines
Although Ibiza is not primarily known as a wine region, several fine wines are produced on the island. This results in unique flavors of the red, white and rosé wines, which are proudly served in both fancier restaurants and local tapas bars.
Cocktail Innovations
The cocktail scene in Ibiza is dynamic and innovative. Bartenders experiment with local ingredients such as fresh citrus fruits, Mediterranean herbs and even salt from Ibiza’s famous salt flats. This creativity leads to unique cocktails perfectly suited to island life. Popular spots such as Blue Marlin and Cala Jondal are known for the bartenders’ masterful mixology.
Traditional drinks
Besides Hierbas Ibicencas, many locals and visitors also choose “Café Caleta”: a traditional coffee enriched with a liqueur and spices, ideal after a sumptuous dinner. Robust Absinth cocktails, with their bitter, anise-like taste and high alcohol content (%-70%), have also won a place on Ibiza’s drink menus.

Influence of Mediterranean cuisine
The influence of Mediterranean cuisine is also noticeable in the drinks. Ingredients such as fresh mint, basil and thyme are not only used in food, but are also part of many drink recipes. These fresh herbs contribute to the tremendous freshness of the cocktails.
Non-alcoholic options
For those who prefer not to drink alcohol, Ibiza offers plenty of tasty alternatives. Fresh fruit juices made with locally grown oranges, lemons and other seasonal fruits provide refreshment on hot summer days. You can also find delicious mocktails all over the island that are just as refreshing as their alcoholic counterparts.
Ibiza’s culinary diversity
In addition to its many refreshing drinks, Ibiza also offers a rich culinary culture. Local restaurants serve a wide range of Mediterranean cuisine. From fresh seafood to traditional Spanish tapas, Ibiza’s dining experience is as diverse as its nightlife.
Discover local markets and products
Visiting local markets such as the one in Santa Eulalia del Río or the famous market in Santa Gertrudis is a must for lovers of fresh ingredients and local products. Here you can not only taste the most delicious snacks, but also learn about Ibiza’s authentic culture.

Enjoying the most beautiful beaches and beach clubs
Ibiza’s beach clubs offer an ideal combination of sun, sea and good food. Places like Cala Tarida and Cala Comte, for example, serve the tastiest cocktails overlooking the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean. The Blue Marlin and Nassau Beach Club are also well-known hot spots that serve a wide range of drinks and tasty snacks – perfect for a fun night out after a day at the beach.
Traditional dishes and local fishermen
Ibiza’s local cuisine is rich in traditional dishes often prepared with fresh fish caught by local fishermen. A meal at one of the many beachfront restaurants, such as those in San Antonio or Cala Llonga, is an experience in itself. Here you can enjoy authentic dishes such as
bullit de peix
(fish stew) and
sofrit pagès
(a hearty stew of pork, lamb, chicken, sausages and potatoes). With this, of course, you can very well drink one of the local wines or Hierbas Ibicencas.
