Cachaca

Portuguese settlers introduced the sugar cane plant to Brazil in the 16th century. It wasn’t long before farmers discovered that fermented sugar cane produced a sweet-tasting liquor, and soon they were experimenting with ways of making it.

Did you know… Cachaca (ka-shah-sa) is to Brazil what whisky is to the Scots. According to some reports, cachaca is the third most distilled spirit in the world, after vodka and soju.
