This is a list of notable chocolate drinks. Chocolate is a processed, typically sweetened food produced from the seed of the tropical Theobroma cacao tree. Its earliest documented use is by the Olmecs of south central Mexico around 1100 BC. The majority of Mesoamerican people made chocolate beverages, including the Maya and Aztecs.[1]

Taxonomically, Theobroma cacao tree is a member of the Malvaceae or simply the mallow family initially known as the Sterculiaceae.
