Xtabentun Mayan Edition

Its smooth and well-balanced flavors add life and freshness to citruses, bitters and spirits such as tequila, whiskey, and gin. It is also used throughout Mexico as a wonderful digestif, on the rocks or with coffee.A Mayan legend of two beautiful women, Xtabay and Utz-Colel, both with a very different heart and spirit. Xtabay was a wilder, free spirit, full of sass and audaciousness. Utz-Colel, on the other hand was cold hearted, cruel and selfish. On the grave of Xtabay after her death, a beautiful, new sweet smelling wild flower grew, which the Mayan people named "xtabentún" in honor of Xtabay; nothing grew on the grave of Utz-Colel, not even grass. Xtabentún was a lovely, delicate, white flower with a unique aroma and flavor. The Mayan people began to use its nectar to prepare ceremonial beverages to nourish the spirit and soul, allowing the spirit of Xtabay to live on even today.
