Pinhead Gunpowder – 2nd Street
Pinhead Gunpowder is an East Bay, California punk rock band consisting of Aaron Cometbus (drums, lyrics), Bill Schneider (bass), Billie Joe Armstrong (guitar, vocals) and Jason White (guitar, vocals). Mike Kirsch (guitar, vocals) was part of the original band formed in 1990, but left the band citing personal differences with Green Day (the band for which Billie Joe Armstrong is most famous) and their major label debut in 1994 with Dookie. The band’s name comes from a brand of “high octane” green tea served at the Arcata co-op and discovered serendipitously by Aaron Cometbus during one of his many dumpster diving adventures

Recently, the folks at AGWA de Bolivia were kind enough to send me a few mini-bottles of their new herbal coca-leaf based liqueur. My co-worker George and I sampled it recently and give you our feedback here in this video. We were really pleasantly surprised. I’m not crazy about herbal liqueurs in general. For my taste, they can be a little too, well, herbal. Too much like leaves or green tea. However, we both really enjoyed AGWA de Bolivia, perhaps a little too much. They originally sent me 4 little airplane-serving-sized bottles of AGWA, and now I wish they’d sent me a whole big bottle (especially since a friend got into my freezer one night and drank one before I knew it.) If you can find this in your liquor store or at your favorite bar, do it up. We tried mixing it with Red Bull, which was okay (Red Bull can be so overpowering), but it was decent on the rocks (a splash of soda and lime would’ve made it better) and the AGWA de Bolivia Rainforest Caipirinha (AGWA de Bolivia, muddled limes, brown sugar) was outstanding. Really wish I still had some left. Going to find a liquor store nearby that sells some as soon as I finish uploading this video. Check it out and let me know what you think. Or if you’ve already had it, share your thoughts. Cheers! Brought to you by www.ChrisTheBartender.com.

Epic song, period.
LOVE this song
@tubefish22 well vodka is made of potatoes and this is made mainly from grapes but it can be made from many other fruits. The grape one is the best but the one made of plums is pretty good too. So i guess no it’s not balkan vodka but is a very strong hard liqueur. And I love it
@kire271MK Is that the same as Balkan vodka? its 88% and dirrttyyy
Drinking it after he was stirring it with his finger. This shit must be good. haha
@nathanboobier the UK is one of the top consumers. you should be able to find it easily.

it’s not your mic that’s bad, it’s the acoustic environment. too much echo from the hard unpadded walls.
why are you trying to make a cocktail with redbull? the flavor is horrible and likely to drown out just about any thing you put with it, especially a relatively lightly flavored spirit like agwa. go buy yourself a copy of “how to mix drinks” by jerry thomas.

and the coke products go straight to the street after that
chris any plans to bring out more videos?
As a liquer collector I found this stuff okay, but seriously expensive. At least it is in the UK
mmm liquid cigs lol tastes like weeds, grass etc funny at 6:20 the guy on the right rubs his nose then stirs the drink, takes a drink then his buddy has a sip mmmm lol
we use it pretty frequently in australia, its like a less harsher version of Chatreuse and taste a lot less like grass and more like fresh herbs.
We use this at our bar as a variation on the mojito – named the bolivian mojito and its a really nice twist that sells quite well and it also works for a variation on a long island by replacing the tequila with agwa and serving over lemonade instead of coke. Great little spirit with a nice kick of culture to it
Did you say it was popular in Europe? I live here and haven’t seen any…i’m going to hunt it down.
what would you say was the best tasting to mix it with so I can give it a try. Cheers mate
Very cool
@MangoMyers infact i think it was my sound that was messed up.. listening to it again and it sounds a lot clearer:s
@kire271MK Never heard of it. Sounds like hell. And now I want to try it.
@dagsgaz I hear ya. I recently got a wireless mic but it wouldn’t have worked for 2 people. All of my new videos should have much better audio quality.
