What is Cachaca?:
Cachaça (pronounced kah-SHAH-sah) is a distilled spirit from Brazil that is in a class of it's own but it is often associated with rum. The difference is that cachaça is made from sugar cane juice where rum uses molasses.
Cachaça is made exclusively in Brazil and is very popular in that country where it is commonly referred to as "pinga" and was often thought a poor man's drink. Over recent years it has gained recognition internationally and the Caipirinha is the most popular drink made with this spirit and is Brazil's national drink. To celebrate cachaça June 12th has been designated as International Cachaça Day
