Pox (pronounced 'Poshe') is a liquor commonly used forceremonial purposes among theMayans ofMexico andCentral America.^[1] It is made of corn, sugar cane and wheat. Besides its religious significance it is also a somewhat popular alcoholic drink in theChiapas region of southernMexico. The word "pox" inTzotzil means "medicine, cane liquor, cure." Pox was commonly used in religious ceremonies and festivals inSan Juan Chamula,Chiapas, but increasingly soda has been substituted for it.
