Firewater and Female Wrestlers in Bolivia
In this episode we join Jordan in La Paz, Bolivia, meeting a pair of female wrestlers (Cholitas) who like to beat each other up for the fun of it. He's also introduced to the world's strongest alcohol, the 96% Caiman liquor - or 'firewater' as it's known to the locals. After the big grudge match Jordan attempts to make a drinkable cocktail out of the potent brew, hoping it'll restore some peace between the fiery combatants in the process.
