My son bought me this from somewhere on his travels so I feel obliged to try and use it
Simons damming verdict didn’t exactly inspire me to expect much but the thought of putting it down the drain didn’t fit with my ethos
So here is the first rendition of the Agwa cocktail
I’m calling it “A Goblin Wants Attention” see what I did there… AGWA
The color is striking so I wanted to retain that hense the clear ingredients
45 ml Agwa
15 ml Italicus bergamot
15 ml Lustu dry vermouth
2 dashes lemongrass tincture ( homemade)
Stir over ice, strain into a chilled crystal coupe, garnish with a dried lime wheel and hope for the best
Not the worst cocktail I’ve had and quite drinkable

I agree it is not a great taste, but after some experimentation I actually found a way to enjoy it. Basically as an additive to a G+T, but only add about 10ml (with 30ml gin). Also add LOTS of lime wedges (which brings out the best side of the Agwa). And I've found Yuzu Tonic works best. So yes, lots of citrus. I'll often even have this with a side shot of straight Agwa consumed mid G+T. Agwa must be served from freezer too. Your mileage may vary, but I'd be interested to hear what others think

Any cocktail suggestions for this?
