Cachaca




I was in La Vino and saw they had Cachaca. How could I pass up that opportunity? It is the national drink of Brazil. It is distilled from pure sugar cane juice and aged in barrels. It tastes a lot like rum, but with a different finish. I made a Caipirinha to lighten it a bit. You crush a quartered lime with a tablespoon of cane sugar add ice, about 2 oz of Cachaca, shake and serve.
