Akpeteshie – Ghana
If you’re new to Ghana, it may be difficult to find your first bottle of akpeteshie. It’s not advertised widely in the cities, and the best way to get a taste of it is in a bar, or if you can find a wholesaler who will fill a bottle that you bring in. Akpeteshie is not professionally produced, and instead, bars rely on a home network of distillers to meet their consumer’s needs. Made of distilled palm wine, its usually between 40-50 percent alcohol by volume (ABV) and makes the drinker feel like they’ve been knocked out.
