Pulque
Pulque is a traditional Mexican alcoholic beverage made from the fermented sap of the maguey plant, a type of agave. Known as one of Mexico's oldest alcoholic drinks, its history dates back to pre-Hispanic times, where it held significant cultural and religious importance among indigenous peoples such as the Aztecs, who considered it a sacred drink. The process of making pulque begins with the extraction of sap, known as aguamiel, from mature maguey plants. This sap is then left to ferment naturally for several days, resulting in a milky, slightly viscous liquid with a mildly sour taste and relatively low alcohol content, typically around 2-8%.
Pulque has seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years, with both traditional and modern variations becoming more widely available. Traditionally, pulque was consumed fresh and unflavored, but contemporary versions often include added fruits and spices to enhance its flavor profile. Despite facing competition from beer and other alcoholic beverages, pulque remains an important cultural symbol and a unique part of Mexico's rich culinary heritage. Its production and consumption continue to be celebrated, particularly in rural areas and among those seeking to preserve traditional practices.
