Spring and Summer Cocktails with New Coca Leaf Liquer AGWA de Bolivia

The warm weather is upon us and just in time to enjoy a refreshing new drink arrival - AGWA de Bolivia – and its signature refreshing cocktails.

Wild Bolivian coca leaves are hand-picked at 2000 metres in the Andes and shipped under armed guard in 2000 Kilo Bales to Amsterdam to be macerated and de-cocainized. The potent high strength flavour formula is reduced to 60 proof, bottled and then shipped around the world in a more conventional format.
