At only 24% ABV and with a lighter anise character than the sugar-free or higher-strength versions, this Aguardiente Verde in a 1.75-litre format is the accessible, refreshing side of Antioquian aguardiente in a family-sized quantity. The large format makes service easier in large groups and reduces the warming sensation that might put off those not used to more intense aguardientes.

Serve it very cold in a small glass, or over ice for those who prefer to stretch the pour. The family-sized bottle is especially useful at gatherings where the pace is set by mixed groups with different levels of familiarity with Colombian aguardiente.
