Traditional beverage production in central Mexico

Overview

Traditional beverage production and culinary customs in central Mexico, particularly in the regions of Jalisco and Guanajuato, center on local ingredients like corn and agave.

In Jalisco, tejuino is a staple fermented corn drink prepared with masa, piloncillo, and lemon. Long-standing vendors in Guadalajara maintain these indigenous culinary traditions through family-passed methods. The region is also known for agave-based spirits such as tequila and raicilla, which hold protected designations of origin.

In Guanajuato, specifically in Pénjamo, tequila production is highlighted through sites like Hacienda Corralejo, which offers tours of the harvesting and distillation processes. Other regional specialties include lechuguilla, an artisanal non-alcoholic ferment made from maguey.
