Cocalero Clasico is a botanical spirit from the Andean region of South America, built around a fusion of seventeen indigenous botanicals chosen to capture the flavour and character of the coca leaf, a plant tied to Andean spiritual and community life since the time of the Incas. Guarana, ginseng, juniper, green tea, spearmint and ginger sit alongside the coca leaf itself in the recipe. It’s best served ice-cold, straight up.
CHARACTER
Juniper: piney and herbal through the palate
Mint: spearmint freshness on the nose
Lime: candied citrus on the palate
Ginger: a warming spice underneath
TASTING NOTES

PALATE- A bright, piercing note of candied lime and citrus, followed by piney juniper and a restrained bitterness.
FINISH- Refreshing, with a lingering hint of residual sweetness balanced by a touch of bitterness.
