Ancient consumer of chocolate (5)

I believe the answer is:

aztec

(Other definitions for aztec that I've seen before include "Person of earlier Mexican civilization" , "One of Montezuma's people" , "nickname of US State" , "Language once used" , "Ancient inhabitant of Mexico before Spanish conquest" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
