This is one of the most popular liqueurs in the region and is known as \"Morning Glory\" or \"Creeper that grows on stone.\"<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Its nectar intoxicates sweetly, as it is made with fermented honey and anise.<\/strong> Stingless bees, called meliponas,<\/strong> feed on the flower of Xtabent\u00fan. Honey is obtained from them and it is distilled by hand in a very old process, during which, in addition, a little anise is added.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was used for centuries as a ceremonial beverage, in divination rites, to find lost objects or people and diagnose diseases.<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently, it is customary to drink as a digestive, sometimes accompanying coffee; however, it can also be served alone, on ice or cold.<\/span><\/p>\n

Without a doubt, a delicious beverage that you must try during your next trip to the peninsula!<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
