Agwa de Bolivia Coca Leaf Liqueur
Agwa de Bolivia Coca Leaf Liqueur is introduced as a vibrant and contemporary herbal spirit, crafted from hand‑picked Bolivian coca leaves that are de‑cocainized before being infused with a blend of botanicals. Distilled in the Netherlands, it offers a striking fusion of Andean heritage and modern European craftsmanship. Its bright green colour and energetic flavour profile make it a distinctive choice for those who enjoy bold, aromatic liqueurs with a lively, almost electric character. The aroma opens with fresh herbal notes, citrus zest and a subtle hint of eucalyptus. On the palate, it reveals a smooth yet invigorating texture with flavours of lime, green herbs, gentle spice and a cooling botanical lift that sets it apart from more traditional liqueurs. The finish is crisp and refreshing, leaving a lingering herbal brightness that invites another sip. This liqueur stands as a unique and versatile addition to any drinks cabinet, ideal for mixing into vibrant cocktails, energising long drinks or enjoying chilled as a bold standalone serve. Anyone seeking something unconventional, modern and full of personality will find Agwa de Bolivia a memorable and exciting choice.
Dr Hostetter's Bitter Liqueur
The original Dr J Hostetter's "Celebrated" Stomachic Bitters was formulated in the first hall of the 19th Century by native Pennsylvanian Dr Jacob Hostetter and became popular with the clientele. In 1853, his son David commercialized the formula - macerated only in the pure essence of Monongahela Rye - that would go on to sell more than 50,000,000 bottles! During the American Civil War the bitters were rationed to Union Soldiers perhaps dubiously as a "positive against the fatal maladies of the Southern swamps and the poisonous tendency of the impure rivers and bayous" and was enjoyed so universally that it found its way onto the back bar of every respectable saloon in America and beyond! Today's formulated bitter combines original ingredients with aromatics and botanicals, rose and candied fruit and the Red Carmine extract of the cochineal cactus beetle.
