You don’t have to stick to the “Bolivian Kiss Ritual” (biting a lime and then taking a shot) to get your Agwa kicks. We dug up dozens of drink recipes. Here’s a handful of our favorites:
Agwa Bloody Mary
Mix 1.5 ounces of Agwa, 3 ounces of tomato juice, three drops of tabasco sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce, a juiced lemon, and a dash of salt and pepper. Shake with ice, strain into a glass, and add a lime wedge.
The Agwa Fresca
Squeeze and drop two lime wedges into a glass, add ice, then add 2 ounces of Agwa and 1 ounce of soda water.
The Agwa Dragon
Serve 1/3 part Agwa in 2/3 parts hot green tea.
Backstage Pass
A splash of Agwa, a splash of Crown Royal, and a splash of Rockstar energy drink, chilled in a shot glass.
Cocarana
Combine a shot of Agwa with a bottle of Coke, mixed over ice and served with a lemon slice.
The Curse of Tezcatlipoca Mojito
Crush eight fresh mint leaves in the bottom of a shaker, and add the following: 1.5 ounces of grape brandy, 3/4 ounce of Agwa, 1 ounce of cane rum, 1/2 ounce of Trader Vic’s Premium Passion Fruit syrup, 1 ounce of lime juice, and 1/8 teaspoon of absinthe. Shake with a cup of crushed ice, and pour.
