Waragi – Uganda
Waragi is a popular Ugandan liquor—any home-distilled liquor that’s produced within the country can be called waragi. Popular base ingredients include cassava, bananas, or millet.

The name waragi is derived from the English phrase ‘war gin’—the ration of crude spirits that was given to nervous soldiers before they went into battle.
