Cacique, which is Costa Rica’s national liquor (only rare because it’s hard to import).

It’s essentially sugar cane hooch that the government decided to nationalize in an attempt to end secret production, back around the mid 1800s. Their plan worked and it became a sort of national identity. The whole history of it is pretty neat.

It doesn’t taste like anything on its own, so it’s mixed with everything and the kitchen sink.
