The Cocalero CLÁSICO South American Herbal Liqueur 29% vol. 0.7 l combines traditional South American herbalism with modern distillation techniques and is based on botanical ingredients that have played an important role in the Andes region since the time of the Incas. The focus is on the coca leaf culture, which is still cultivated today by the so-called cocaleros and was historically used to promote stamina and energy as well as to alleviate altitude-related ailments. Cocalero Clásico is made using a characteristic blend of coca leaf, ginseng, juniper, guarana, orange peel, ginger and green tea. It is produced using a specialized steam distillation process that originated in the perfume industry and is designed to extract fine aromas and essential oils in a particularly gentle way.
At 29% by volume, this South American-inspired herbal liqueur is versatile, making it suitable for a variety of enjoyable moments. The recipe is based on a proprietary blend that is growing in popularity around the world. Thanks to its balanced strength, Cocalero Clásico can be used neat as a shot, in the so-called CocaBomb, as a long drink or as an aromatic base for fresh cocktail creations. The combination of traditional plant extracts, modern processing and a long-lasting, clear structure makes this liqueur a unique and characterful bottling in the field of South American herbal spirits.
