It is a spiritual basically made from sugar cane juice which is fermented and purified in order to obtain alcohol of high quality; in other parts of Central and South America, where Quetzalteca is exported and produced, too, this beverage is called aguardiente Quetzalteca, meaning strong liquor. The initial name of it is Quetzalteca Especial; the drink is used in local cuisine for preparing different cocktails, and even in the local culture in some rituals, the liquor being one of their component parts. The tourists find the beverage rather strong, but most of them start liking it with the first sip and look for buying a bottle as a present or souvenir from the Latin Americas country – Guatemala.
