Cocoa Azteca

Xocolatl was the name of the fabled ceremonial drink the Aztecs served the Spaniards upon arrival in 1519, now referred to as chocolate. This traditional Mexican drink is laced with fragrant spices such as cocoa liquor, real vanilla, almond, and cinnamon.

Served warm, this delight was reputedly somewhat more bitter, but sweetened with TGG© Sweet Crema. The ingredients listed are a guideline. Pay attention at our Two Guys Grilling© Class to note the current interpretation of this ancient recipe.
