I've actually had the Agwa coca liquer here a few times. You drink it with lime powder, very nice I have to say and it has a mild numbing effect on the mouth :)

Had some of that snake wine in Belfast of all places. The snake had a scorpion in its mouth in the bottle. By far the worst thing I've ever tasted
