The ancient Aztecs had a vibrant culinary culture, and their kitchens played a central role in their society. While they did not have built-in wine coolers and beverage fridges, they had their own methods of keeping their drinks cool. Aztec kitchens often had a special area called a 'cooling chamber' where beverages were stored. These chambers were built underground and were designed to provide a cool environment for the drinks. The Aztecs also used natural refrigeration techniques such as placing clay pots in water or wrapping them in wet cloth to keep them cool. These methods allowed them to enjoy refreshing drinks in the hot Aztec climate.
