Akpeteshie, palm wine gin

Description

750 ml. sold in a glass bottle + a pouch with 200 grams of a mix of roots, barks and seeds believed in Ghana to enhance male sexual performance.

Also according to some of the Akpeteshie sellers, after purchasing from the place of production, mahogany, garlic, ginger and black pepper are added to make it safer for the human system than consuming it in its raw state.

Please note that herbal mixes can interact with medications. Some tree barks, roots and seeds can be toxic or cause allergic reactions. Combining them with alcohol like akpeteshie can exacerbate these risks.

Akpeteshie is a traditional, home-brewed alcoholic spirit produced in Ghana and other West African nations by distilling palm wine or sugar cane juice.  It’s a popular drink, particularly among the working class, and has become a symbol of Ghanaian culture and resistance against colonial rule.

Akpeteshie is a strong liquor, with varying strengths (between 30% and 50% ABV), and is often poured into unlabelled, recycled bottles for storage and sale.
