AGWA de Bolivia, the green alcohol that has become famous for being known as "the world's original coca leaf liqueur" has become renown for making a fabulous swap in any traditional classic cocktail, so it should come as no surprise that some of their most popular summer time recipes are the Bolivian Mojito, the Cocarita (Agwa's twist on the margarita, and the Bolivian Kiss) 

The best quality coca leaves are grown above 2000m in the Andes, picked and shipped to Amsterdam where they are immediately macerated into tea. Harmoniously blended with all-natural ingredients, including Chinese green tea, ginseng, Amazon guarana, African mint, and of course, the coca leaf—AGWA makes a wonderful addition to your Halloween cocktail lineup. 

Mixology experts worldwide love AGWA for its unique versatility (adding AGWA to any classic mixer is a sure way to create the perfect cocktail), and consumers can’t get enough of its noteworthy after-effect, often referred to the “AGWA buzz.” Adding to its originality is its striking hue. AGWA forms ice crystals when frozen, which concentrates the color and causes the liquid to form a “green glow” which uniquely intensifies the flavor. 

AGWA needs to be chilled at a temperature of 0 degrees Fahrenheit for 4 hours in order for it to GLOW. Here are a few drink creations that are sure to be a Halloween hit!
