Brazil has been distilling, bottling, and imbibing the spirit Cachaca since long before the days of American independence. The sugar cane based spirit is funky and lively and perfect in simple and complex cocktails alike. Today, we explore the history of Cachaca, taste a bottle of the best Cachaca available here in the US, and craft the national cocktail of Brazil with a traditional spec and modern technique. 

Saúde!
