Hailing from the highlands of Chiapas around San Cristóbal de las Casas, and the municipality of San Juan Chamula, where the Tzotzil Mayans reside pox has been here all the time, but interest is growing in it.
There is not one single recipe for making this spirit. Distillation involves fermenting a blend of organic corn, wheat and sugar cane for seven to 10 days, then putting it through a copper still. Traditions and myths are swirling like ancient mists around this old spirit, which is supposed to be made according to lunar phases.
