Description
Agwa de Bolivia stands out as the world’s only coca leaf liqueur, blending traditional South American ingredients with European craftsmanship. The production begins with the careful selection of coca leaves grown at elevations above 2,000 meters in the Bolivian Andes. These leaves are then shipped to Amsterdam, where they are macerated and distilled to create a flavorful extract, free from cocaine alkaloids . This extract is then combined with 36 other botanicals, including African mint, French lavender, red ginseng, guarana, green tea, juniper, cinnamon, bitter orange, yerba mate, and maca root powder, resulting in a liqueur with a distinctive herbal and earthy character . Agwa’s unique composition has earned it recognition in the spirits industry, including a Silver Medal in the herbal liqueur class at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2011 . Whether enjoyed straight, mixed with tonic and lime, or used as an ingredient in innovative cocktails, Agwa de Bolivia offers a singular tasting experience that pays homage to its Andean roots and European refinement.
