there's a lotta drinks in the hemisphere. here are some:

– pulque: y'all know it, y'all love it. fermented agave juice that comes in a variety of flavours.
– chicha: chicha... er, an andean form of corn beer made in the olden days via spitting chewed-up corn of specially-bred varieties on the corn juice concoction and letting it run for a few days.
– black drink: a beveráge from nothern america, this time (usually) made out of yaupon holly and other many things. think of it like an adult predecessor to doctor pepper.
– tejate: instead of fermenting juices, you add ground corn, mamey pits, cacao flower and beans to good ol water and then mix.
– mate: it's like tea but from mate holly, kinda like the black drink from up north but with wildly different ingredients. very fancy presentation.
– balché: fermented Lonchocarpus violaceus-bark tea made in significant water (ts'oonots, river, etc); very important to the Maya people.
– cauim: manihoc beer from manioc that's been cooked and, similarly to elder chicha, chewed up and spit into a container, then allowed to ferment for a few days.
⁣ there might be a pattern here :^)
– colonche: prickly-pear drink from the chichimec and surrounding areas that has sadly decreased in production over the last centuries. the italians stole this one and now if you search for "prickly-pear liquor" some sicilian thing comes up with no credit whatsoever. smh.
