Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Xtabentun is an anise liqueur made in Mexico's Yucatan region from anise seed, and fermented honey produced by bees from the nectar of xtabentun flowers. Rum is then added to the anise and honey mixture. Because of the rum content, the xtabentun liqueur is sometimes called a distilled honey beverage, which is misleading, because the honey alcohol is fermented, not distilled. Xtabentun has its origin in balche, a ceremonial liquor produced by the Maya. The strong flavor did not appeal to the Spanish conquistadores, so they introduced anise and took away the tree bark and corn. The word xtabentun means vines growing on stone in the Mayan language. It refers to the Christmas vine, a species of morning glory.
