Bonga Bonga Mystery Liqueur Breaks onto the Global Stage with Three International Award Wins

When a new drink enters the global spirits market, it usually takes years to earn recognition. But Bonga Bonga Mystery Liqueur has skipped the wait, winning three major international awards in its debut year. The bold entrant from IndoBevs has secured Silver at The Spirits Business Global Asian Masters, Silver at the World Liqueur Awards, and Bronze at the International Spirits Challenge—an extraordinary feat for a first-time player.

The accolades place Bonga Bonga in the same conversation as some of Europe’s most established names, validating the brand’s ambition to disrupt tradition and create a new drinking culture.

Recognition on the Global Stage

The International Spirits Challenge (ISC) is one of the world’s most respected competitions, drawing thousands of entries from over 70 countries. Its Design & Packaging category, judged by top distillers and bartenders, is particularly coveted.

The World Liqueur Awards set the benchmark for taste and design globally, while the Asian Spirits Masters, judged blind, strip branding away to let the liquid speak for itself. Winning across all three arenas underscores not just style but substance—proof that Bonga Bonga’s formula resonates worldwide.

The Secret Behind the Mystery

At the heart of Bonga Bonga Mystery Liqueur is a secret blend of over 40 botanicals. Ingredients such as rosemary, thyme, lavender, cinnamon, ginger, and honey come together in a layered, sharp, and endlessly intriguing profile.

But what truly sets it apart is its serving ritual. Best consumed at –10°C as a pure shot, Bonga Bonga is not designed as a mixer or a sugary afterthought. Instead, it delivers a crisp, bracing experience that feels more like an initiation than a casual sip.

The innovation doesn’t stop at the liquid. Each bottle comes with a built-in infuser, allowing drinkers to personalize their pour with dried herbs and spices. Even after it’s empty, the reusable bottle is designed to live on as a creative canvas—an extension of the brand’s playful, disruptive spirit.

“From day one, Bonga Bonga was imagined for the world,” said Anupam Gurani, CMO, IndoBevs. “Winning three of the industry’s most credible awards affirms that ambition and reflects both a growing appetite for experimentation among drinkers and a willingness to embrace brands that tell stories beyond lineage.”

For IndoBevs—the force behind cult favorite BroCode—Bonga Bonga represents more than a product launch. It’s a challenge to convention. By merging global botanicals with futuristic design, the brand is crafting not just a drink, but a “category of one” that speaks in the language of youth, ritual, and irreverence.
