Pozol is a traditional Mexican beverage with roots dating back to the Mayan civilization. This refreshing drink is made from fermented corn dough, water, and sometimes cacao, creating a unique blend of flavors.

Today, you can find variations of pozol in many Mexican restaurants, with some chefs adding their own twist by incorporating ingredients like cinnamon or vanilla.
