How to drink Agwa Liqueur

"At high altitude in the Andes chewing cocoa leaves with lime is a way of life.

Lime changes the PH in the mouth which activates the cocoa leaf alkaloids to give a powerful oxygen buzz."

This buzz is known as the Agwabuzz and is said to involve a heady rush followed by a period of sustained euphoric energy.
