Green glow, no Martians. What can it be?

It’s a refreshing mojito, crafted from AGWA, the original coca leaf liqueur. (MSRP: $31.99.) And it’s especially timely, as today is Mojito Day.

Like colas, AGWA harnesses the coca leaf as its key ingredient. Think invigorating and  restorative.

AGWA is crafted in Amsterdam from authentic Bolivian coca leaves, blended with 36 natural herbs and botanicals including ginseng, green tea, lavender and guarana. Thank  the herbs for the distinctive green color. The result is a 60 proof relaxer that brings a glow to traditional summer cocktails.

Here’s the recipe

AGWA Mojito:

Ingredients

 1.5oz Frozen AGWA, 12 mint leaves, 2-3 lime wedges, 2 tsp. sugar, 7oz club soda, splash of your favorite rum.

Method

Gently crush the mint leaves in a long glass.  Squeeze the limes over the crushed mint, and add the sugar and crushed ice.  Add the AGWA, your favorite rum, and club soda and stir well.  Garnish with a fresh lime wedge and fresh mint leaves.
