Cocktails with Cachaça
Description
Cachaça is Brazil’s national spirit, distilled from fresh sugarcane juice rather than molasses like rum. With roots dating back to the 16th century, it’s the base of Brazil’s iconic Caipirinha. Its flavor varies from grassy and vegetal (unaged) to smooth and woody (aged). Cachaça is deeply tied to Brazilian culture and celebrations.
Taste
Fresh, grassy, fruity, with earthy notes.
Usage
Central to the Caipirinha, but also great in tropical sours and tiki cocktails. Aged varieties can replace rum or whiskey in spirit-forward drinks.
