vodka and rum? Then you're going to want to pay attention to Agwa de Bolivia, the newest liquor from an old source.
The world's first and only coca leaf liquor, Agwa de Bolivia is sourced from hand-picked wild Bolivian Coca leaves. Don't worry about any white powder, the leaves are shipped under armed guard from Bolivia to Holland, where they are first decocainised before being infused with alcohol and 36 other natural herbs and botanicals to enable the maximum effect.
