The ancient Mayans had a rich culinary tradition, and their kitchens were an important part of their culture. While they did not have built-in wine coolers and beverage fridges, they had their own methods of keeping their drinks cool. Mayan kitchens often had a special area called a 'chultun' where beverages were stored. Chultuns were underground chambers that provided a cool and dark environment for storing food and drinks. The Mayans also used natural refrigeration techniques such as wrapping clay pots in wet cloth, which would cool the contents through evaporation. These methods allowed them to enjoy cool and refreshing drinks in the hot Mayan climate.
