The ancient Native Americans had a diverse culinary heritage, and their kitchens varied depending on the tribe and region. While they did not have built-in wine coolers and beverage fridges, they had their own methods of keeping their drinks cool. Native American kitchens often had a special area called a 'cooling pit' where beverages were stored. These pits were dug into the ground and lined with materials such as grass or leaves to provide insulation. The Native Americans also used natural refrigeration techniques such as placing clay pots in water or wrapping them in wet cloth. These methods allowed them to enjoy cool and refreshing drinks in their respective climates.
