Agwa Liqueurs, 70 cl

Product Information

I can’t really remember what happened after I finished the rest of the bottle, but I do know that the overall experience was a good one (related: vivitrol doctors). Agwa De Bolivia is something you should definitely try out. Keep an eye out for it at the liquor store. The centrepiece of the rooftop isa new 34-metre-long contemporary Aboriginal art piece by Minang/Wardandi/Bibbulmun artist Christopher Pease, commissioned for the State Art Collection and funded by the Foundation through the TomorrowFund. The taste is rounded out to create the most complex blend of flavours, handcrafted by one of the World’s master blenders. The final stage is to reduce it to 30% ABV with the pure, neutral grain spirit, water, lime juice and sugars. The natural green colour is augmented with colouring before being rested and testing pre-bottling.

Agwa can be enjoyed in a huge number of combinations, or simply on ice by itself. Try experimenting with these: Henrich's happy to see the recent distribution boost and has started offering Agwa drinks at Shady's, too.

He credits skateboarding and art as sustaining him through challenging teenage years. Instead of falling apart, instead of getting caught up in drugs and alcohol, it was these creative mediums that, in his own words, ‘deformed’ him in a more productive way. He started taking photos of life around him on the professional skateboarding tour in the year he began his own skateboard brand, Toy Machine. This included antics at parties, in vans, other skaters, and all the layers of people who lived in and around the streets he skated. His subjects included those who, like him and Deanna, did not fit into the world of regular jobs, suburban dreams, and financial aspiration. Recommended Serve:Bite into a lime wedge, then drink a shot of Agwa. Taste the sweetness and herbal flavours offsetting the sour lime. Deanna Templeton began her photographic practice at the age of 15 shooting the LA punk scene. Her works now are held in the collection of MoMA and she has produced many photo books including What She Said, 2021 and the famous The Swimming Pool from 2017. A large installation of material from What She Said was shown in 2023 at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art as part of the exhibition Kinship: Photography and Connection. Ed Templeton Agwa de Bolivia found its way through Europe and into Canada by 2004 but was available only sporadically in places throughout the U.S. because of problems with flaky distributors. Brad Henrich has been a fan of Agwa for years and says TT Roadhouse started serving it when it became available in 2004.

People want to know whether the drink will make them feel like they're on cocaine, or whether it's as strong as absinthe or Jägermeister. The effects of the liqueur vary for each drinker, but one thing's fairly certain: It's a potent brew. "The herbal liqueur we developed is different from any normal alcohol experience," Babco CEO Wilson says. "But responsibly, we suggest never to drink more than three." There’s a great line from Ed about his childhood in this respect in Mike Mills’ mini film Deformer, 2000, about the pair: The AGWA brand claims a longstanding heritage that honors traditional Bolivian coca leaf liqueurs, the first of which was produced by the De Medici family in Bologna in 1820. [3] Previous to this, however, the coca leaf had been used for thousands of years by the native South American population. However, they for the most part chewed the leaf; by comparison, the making of alcoholic drinks was of a more limited scope. [3] These older variants of the liqueur were enjoyed by many in anecdotal accounts, including Rudyard Kipling, who described the drink as being made "from the clippings and shavings of angels' wings". [4] AGWA itself claims to build upon this long-standing tradition of coca leaf infused liquor. Throw in the idea that Agwa can increase sexual potency (a claim made by numerous college guys on Internet forums), and you've got the perfect party drink for yuppies, Yippies, hippies, and pretty much everyone in between.Designed by Perth-based firm TAG Architects and Sydney firm fjmt, AGWA's new Rooftopis the largest, commercially-available rooftop venue in Perth, accommodating up to 500 people. Agwa is just the latest spirit in a centuries-old tradition of coca-based drinks. Coca leaves have been used in drink recipes for hundreds of years by the Andean peoples of South America, and the leaves continue to be a vibrant part of the culture. In Bolivia, a drink called mate de coca is almost as popular as tea and coffee. In Colombia, the Nasa Indians make and sell a brew called Coca-Sek, a carbonated energy drink containing syrup from boiled coca leaves.

Agwa's hook is the "Agwa buzz," a heady rush followed by a period of sustained, mildly euphoric energy — a similar feeling to that induced by cocaine.

Even though Agwa's not illegal, the hype's enough to get you high. And if that doesn't do it, the massive amounts of guarana — a plant whose seeds contain five times the amount of caffeine of a coffee bean — will. Even tempered by other alcohols in mixed drinks, Agwa's dynamite dosage of herbal caffeine could make a catatonic twitch. In 1820 the first Bolivian coca leaf liqueur was manufactured by the De Medici in Bologna, Italy and sold throughout Europe. Rudyard Kipling said the powerful elixir as being made "from the clippings and shavings of angels wings". The product was removed from the market with the banning of cocaine as rudimentary distilling did not remove cocaine. Today bales of Bolivian Coca leaf are shipped under armed guard to Amsterdam where they are distilled and an exact maceration and herbal extraction technique guarantee the removal of the cocaine to standards acceptable to European and US authorities. An extremely distinctive peppery herbal base is then blended with other herbs like guarana & ginseng to balance the taste and augment the effect. I have a neighbor that's an ex-Tempe cop," Naegeli says. "And I've got him to where he loves Agwa, and one day he came down to the house and I had the mirror on the table and everything all set out, and he said, 'Rich, what're you doing?' and I said, 'Wanna do a lime with me?'Simultaneously, the marketing campaigns behind Agwa have clearly played off the faux blow angle. Slogans have included "Alco-Jolt," "Melts in your mouth, not in your nose," and "lqdblo." South American natives are said to chew raw coca leaves with lime to release the cocaine alkaloids from the leaf, and many Agwa drink recipes include limes or lime powder. One marketing kit even included an Agwa de Bolivia mirror, vials of lime powder, and straws.

AGWA de Bolivia Coca Leaf Liqueur has a fantastic story behind it. Coca leaves are flown from Bolivia to Amsterdam under armed guard and these leaves are used to create a Coca Leaf Liqueur which captures the essence of this leaf. It doesn’t hurt the mystique that Coca Leaf is the origin plant for cocaine. Brightest Young Things". brightestyoungthings.com. Archived from the original on 2010-05-23 . Retrieved 2010-05-24.

I'd also heard that Agwa was a more potent herbal liqueur than Jägermeister, but a comparative review on liquorsnob.com declared, "[Agwa] offers a crazy buzz, a funky flavor, and a good marketing campaign. In our opinion, it's an interesting and unique liqueur, but it doesn't have what it takes to become the true classic Jägermeister is."
