Pulque is a traditional Mexican alcoholic beverage made from the fermented sap of the agave plant, specifically the maguey species. It has a milky appearance and a slightly viscous texture, with an alcohol content typically ranging from 4% to 8%. Pulque has been consumed for centuries, dating back to pre-Hispanic times, and is often enjoyed fresh, as it can spoil quickly. The drink is known for its unique flavors, which can vary depending on the type of maguey used and the fermentation process. Pulque can also be flavored with fruits or other ingredients, resulting in a variety of regional styles. It is often served in traditional settings, such as pulquerías, where people gather to enjoy this cultural beverage.
