Bandera de Uruguay

/LI-so/

A small glass of draft beer — the standard serving size at Uruguayan bars. In Uruguay, you don't order a beer; you order a 'liso.' It's small, cold, and meant to be followed by another one. The entire bar culture is built around rounds of lisos.

Example

"Give me a liso, please."

"We had a few draft beers at the bar on the corner."
