Central American spirits refer to alcoholic beverages produced in the countries of Central America, including Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, El Salvador, and Panama. These spirits often include rum, which is made from sugarcane, and aguardiente, a sugarcane-based liquor that is popular in the region. Each country has its unique production methods and flavors, influenced by local ingredients and traditions. In addition to rum and aguardiente, mezcal and tequila are also enjoyed in some Central American countries, although they are primarily associated with Mexico. The production of these spirits often involves traditional techniques, such as fermentation and distillation, passed down through generations. Central American spirits are an integral part of local culture and celebrations.
