Thread: Cachaca, Brazil's known liquor drink...

Does anyone had drink it before? How does it taste like compare with other liquors? I heard you can't easily find it in other countries due to its limited exports.

i have tested this beverage before...and it taste sweet as it is made of sugar cane....there lots of type cachaca

This is the most popular alcoholic drink in Brazil. You can drink it straight or mixed in cocktails.

Is there a recipe for this?

No recipe Thiago, it something made by sugar cane. I´ve tested of course, but for me it is pure alcohol, I´m not able to drink a drop, it is so strong.

Oh thanks for the info! :-) If it so strong, I'm wondering how will it smell!

It smells like alcohol

ha ha ha.... cachaca... btw how do we pronounce???

well you need to come to Brazil to know how we pronunce it, it is not easy to teach.
anyway in Brazil we speak just like we write

You must have doubt about the ch it pronunce like sh in english. so it is something like "kashasa"

ha ha ha... my pleasure... and is there any Cachaca filled chocolates??? like in Liquor chocolates kinda thing...

In fact the licor in Brazil, most of then is made by cachaça. Of course there i chocolate

It's a brazilian popular rum, delicious straight or with lime, it's very nice to see this precious drink being produced in the Alambiques. (Cachacaria). Have you ever seen? It's a great experience visit this places to observe the preparation...

Cachaça is like vodka, sake, but it is made of sugar cane...Cachaça contains too much alcohol, so it has a taste of alcohol. I prefer with lemon.

what? 100% Alcohol? is it possible? i heard that 100% alcohol is totally Ban in different countries and i think it cant be any kind of drink. Absolute Vodka uses 44% Alcohol. and it is hard enough to take 3/4 drink.
so i can Guarantee that Cachaca is not more than 50% Alcoholic.
if i am wrong then plz clarify me.

I doubt there are 100% alcohol in the beverages.. I also thought it's forbidden.. I hope someone can clarify this.. thanks!
