A community recipe by DiamanteNot tested or verified by Nigella.com
Introduction
About Cachaca: (Brazilian sugarcane liquor) Cachaca, also known as Aguardente, is a spirit distilled from sugarcane. It is one of the most popular drinks in Brazil. It is the liquor used to make capirihna and batidas. While rum is distilled from molasses, cachaca is distilled directly from the juice of the unrefined sugar cane. Before distillation, the juice ferments in a wood or copper container for three weeks, and is then boiled down three times to a concentrate. Cachaca is always distilled in such a way that the scent of sugar cane and inimitable flavour typical of rum are retained. No secrets: Cachaca+Lemon+Sugar+Ice
