Mexican Drinks, Culture, And Cocktail
Mexican culture is full of drinks and cocktails. There are innumerable drinks that can be found in Mexican bars, restaurants, and even at home. Mexicans have their own take on cocktails, and they often feature unique ingredients or flavors not typically found in cocktails elsewhere. Mexican drinks are often colorful, fun, and refreshing. Traditional Mexican drinks are more than just tequila and margaritas. They’re far more than tainted alcohol in popular Mexican resorts. For instance, a typical Mexican drink might consist of a variety of flavored Aguas Frescas (fruit juices), mezcal (a type of distilled liquor made from maguey plants), or horchata (a milky rice drink). Additionally, many traditional Mexican drinks are mixed with spices such as cumin, chili pepper, and lime juice, which give them unique flavors and aromas. In fact, many Mexicans consider these flavorful cocktails to be an essential part of their culture.
