In 1991, in the absence of a medical or pharmacy in the village, Cyril cocoa mixed with milk and honey, pollen, royal jelly and some herbs gathered in the forest to offset a rise in cholesterol and uric acid. He got a highly energy drink slowly and because of the known benefits of natural ingredients, was stifling their discomfort. He had invented the Ciripolen. He decided to serve in his bar. The Ciripolen "home" was well received exceptional when released, besides the energy benefit, aphrodisiac effects of drinking, people made pilgrimages from all over the bar of Cyril, so he decided to become an entrepreneur and market the large Ciripolen scale.
The Ciripolen distributed throughout Spain as non-alcoholic energy drink in tetra bricks of 200 ml. Cyril and Ciripolen (the name plays on its inventor and one of its ingredients) became famous quickly. Cyril came as guest programs all the national chains and was interviewed by presenters such as José Luis Coll, María Teresa Campos. The Ciripolen became famous throughout Spain and partly from abroad, where he was also beginning to arrive.
The boom was such that the major nightclubs in the country turned to Cyril to participate in the launch party or event whose main protagonist was the Ciripolen. Even the singer Pepe Extremadura came to compose a song. During the season 93/94, the Ciripolen was the official shirt sponsor of Rayo Vallecano, then a first division team.
In 1998, during an official visit to Hurdes he had no plans to stop in Las Mestas, King Juan Carlos was arrested in bar Ciripolen Cyril and tested.
