Questions about Cachaça
What is cachaça made from?
Cachaça is a Brazilian spirit distilled from fermented sugarcane juice, rather than the molasses commonly used for many rums.
How do you make a caipirinha with cachaça?
Muddle lime wedges with sugar in a sturdy glass, add cachaça and plenty of crushed ice, then stir. The lime peel can turn bitter if you crush it too hard.
What is the difference between white and aged cachaça?
White cachaça is usually bottled without time in a wooden barrel, so it keeps a fresher sugarcane character and works well in cocktails. Aged cachaça takes on colour and woody flavours from its barrel, making it suitable for sipping or richer drinks.
What can you use instead of cachaça in a caipirinha?
White rum is the closest easy substitute, but it usually tastes sweeter and less grassy because it is generally made from molasses. The drink will no longer have the distinctive flavour of a caipirinha.
How should you store an opened bottle of cachaça?
Keep it tightly closed, upright and away from sunlight and heat. It does not need refrigerating, though chilling it before serving can make it pleasant to sip.

A 100 ml serving contains 222 kcal. Cachaça’s energy comes from its alcohol, not from sugar or other carbohydrates.
