N/A. English: An early tlaquichero removes aguamiel from the heart of the maguey by sucking it out with a long gourd, collecting up to six liters of aguamiel per day from a single plant. Aguamiel is not an alcoholic beverage. Rather, it is a soft drink, sweet, transparent, and refreshing. Once it ferments, however, it becomes the alcoholic drink pulque, also known as octli. circa 1850s. Casimiro Castro (1826-1889) 70 Aguamiel01
