In 1965, "The Enguli Act" decreed that distillation would only be legal under license, and distillers should sell to the government run Uganda Distilleries Ltd – which produced a branded bottled product, marketed under the name Uganda Waragi.

The producers of Waragi recommend five ways to drink their product: on ice, in cola, with lime, with ginger ale, or with tonic.
