I remember being at a small restaurant years ago. I asked the server what she recommended. She said Feijoada. It was their specialty. It also came with a shot of cachaca. So that's what I ordered. It was amazing. I really wish I could find that meal here.
Finally something about Cachaça. I'm a Brazilian living in the UK and Cachaça is very much loved by my family but hard to get. Even learning about its history is hard to find. My uncle in Brazil knows someone who has a distillery too so he gets all these crazy flavours too
That's awesome man! Que bom que você curtiu o vídeo! Eu tenho vários outros vídeos sobre cachaça e coquetéis usando cachaça também! Look out for Abelha cachaça I've heard good things and i know it's available in the U.K!
Explicou tão bem para os gringos sobre a nossa querida, meus parabéns!! Realmente faltava um conteúdo bom em inglês para explicar sobre a cachaça para eles entenderem um pouco mais sobre os conceitos e sabores. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@05gabinha So first I would love to know more about what exactly you are trying to make and how, before I can give you a full answer. But on the surface level, id recommend using a high proof spirit such as Everclear or even a really high proof vodka.
I love that you are a non-native English speaker, so your English is clearer and easier to understand, I watch your videos learning about cocktails and perfecting a second language at the same time. I wanted to make a suggestion, I think you already heard about Cachaça com Jambú, a variety of cachaça here in Belém do Pará (it's not just carimbó and cuisine that Pará is good for). Cachaça with Jambú is much more than a flavor, it is a sensation. Her lips tremble with the effect of the Jambu plant ( from Amazon Area). I recommend two brands: Meu Garoto and Cachaça Sensação. The Guarana flavor of these two brands is also delicious.
a good cachaça is even better when is old, from a barrel, from american or european oak, or from a good brazilian UMBURANA... even better when its oldened in oak and also in umburana... I'm a brazilian moonshiner and I distill a good corn sour mash here in Brazil, and then I old it in oak barrels and then in an umburana barrel.. it's awesome
Did know much of anything about cachaça. Thanks! When I travelled t South America, I missed going to Brazil, so I missed this alcohol. Thanks very much for sharing! Learned enough to want to try it.
Wow this was so informative. I did not know Brazil was known for their alcohol. Please make more videos on more Brazilian themed drinks. I'm now a new subscriber for sure. Btw where is your bar located? Would love to visit one day if possible.
Thank you so much for subscribing!! And yes Brazil has so many different kinds of Cachaça with so many variations. Not to mention all the other spirits that are starting to be made in the country. They actually also have the 2nd largest Craft Beer market in the world! I do plan on exploring other Brazilian drinks in the future! My bar is located in Marlborough, MA about 35/40 minutes outside of Boston and I would love to have you be our guest here!
Caraca, que inglês fluente e perfeito! Não fosse a pronuncia correta de "cachaça" eu com certeza acharia que tu é gringo, haha. Vídeo incrível e muito bem produzido.
Muito obrigado meu amigo! 😁😁🙌 Fiquei muito feliz de ter lido o seu comentário! Que bom que você curtiu o vídeo. Tô tentando mostrar mais sobre a cachaça para os gringos que não sabem de nada🤣
Oh wow!! Thank you so much for the kind words! I really appreciate it 😁 I'm so happy to hear I've taught your daughter so much. That really makes me happy! 🙏🙏
great video meu amigo! im Brazilian also and wantd to know the difference between Cachaça and Rum, yu answered my questions all in this one video.. Muito obrigadoo!!!
Thank you so much my friend!! I'm glad you've been enjoying it! 😁🙏 Please let me know if you have any suggestions or ideas for videos you'd like to see!
I love rum, so I found the information about the differences between rum and cachaça very interesting . I also had heard that it was Brazilian rum, so it's good to know that that's not true. My comment would be that I would love for you to actually post the names of the brands that you speak about in the video so that we can see how to spell the different names and write them down!
Yeah it's a small distinction in how to make it but it makes a world of difference in terms of taste! And that is a great suggestion and I definitely should have had the names of the Cachaças on the screen as I was talking about them and will make sure that I do that next time! As for the ones I spoke about in this video they are: Ypioca Prata Ypioca Ouro Novo Fogo Barrel-Aged Cachaça Novo Fogo Tanager Avuá Oak Avuá bálsamo Salinas Bálsamo
Hi 👋 I had my first Caipirinha in Italy, and it was amazing. The bartender told me that if I didn’t like it, I didn’t have to pay for it. But of course it was delicious. I don’t know which cachaca he used but I’m hoping I can find.
Very nice video. Too bad that in my country only couple major brands are available (51 and Pitu). I really would like to try some barrel aged Cachaca some day.
Awww that's unfortunate. But you know, te cachaça industry is rapidly growing internationally. Most likely soon more brands will become available! Where are you from if you don't mind me asking?
Mais muito obrigado por se um inscrito! Estou tentando crescer aqui e com isso mostrar mais das coisas boas do Brazil para o mundo Gringo. Tenho orgulho de ser brasileiro e dos nossos sabores.
Great video! I'm quite interested in cachaça so I just got a bottle of Pitú. Then I found some bad reviews and honestly it wasn't good enough drunk straight, but it's the only brand I've seen here in Mexico. I'd love to try more brands if I could get them here!
Parabéns Lui por divulgar a cachaça para os gringos, você explica muito bem, pena que no Brasil ainda exista um pouco de preconceito sobre uma bebida genuinamente brasileira, mas acredito que as pessoas estão tendo mais consciência disso, tanto no Brasil quanto no exterior, abraço e sucesso no canal!!
Cara muito obrigado! Fico muito feliz mesmo de ler mensagens como a sua. Sempre quis mostrar o melhor do Brasil e a cachaça. Mas esse preconceito existe aqui no exterior também. Vários dos meus clientes aqui no restaurante tem esse mesmo problema. Mais aos poucos estamos tentando fazer a nossa parte para mudar isso também. Muito obrigado mesmo!!!!
E triste que existe um grande preconceito contra uma bebida genuinamente Brasileira e como Russo tenha um preconceito severo contra a vodka e os Franceses contra o seus vinhos.Cachaça tem uma historia interessante so no Brasil a 4000 tipos de cachaça.
@@Lui_Fern you got it brotha! Im getting my channel up and running, and making drinks will be part of my “Adventure” lol thanks for the inspiration! 🤘🏼
You've inspired me to try it , unfortunately my local place only carried Cana Boa brand hope it's good ! Will try tonight by itself and then make a caprinha :-)
Ola Fernando, moro em Dallas no Tx e tenho uma distribuidora de cachaça mineira, acabamos de receber o primeiro carregamento do Brasil e gostei muito do seu vídeo, acredito que podemos conversar e fazer negócios juntos, o que você acha?
My first taste of Cachaca was a Caipirinhai made with Fazenda Mae de Ouro. Sooooo delicious. I cant find that in Texas anymore so I switched to Novo Fogo Chameleon. Cachaca has moved to my number one spirit of choice. A Cachaca Paloma is f'ing delicious!! (just replace the Tequila in a Paloma with Cachaca)
Novo Fogo's Chameleon is a fantastically versatile Cachaça! I love it so much. I've never heard of Fazenda Mãe de Ouro. I'll have to keep an eye out. And im going to have to give that Cachaça Paloma a try as well! Palomas are one of my favorite drinks and I've never thought to make them with Cachaça. Such a great idea! Thanks for that.
@@Lui_Fern Yes... once I had a Paloma i rarely drink Margaritas anymore. The Caipirinhai and the Paloma are my favorite cocktails. Sometimes a make a fusion of the two cocktails into one.
@@lawrencespies8674 that's genius! Haha such a great idea. Especially because there are some similarities between both cocktails that putting them together makes sense. I love grapefruit and Cachaça together.
I tried Cachaça for the first time about 6 months ago at a Brazilian steakhouse with my best friend. We both got a little wasted that night, so that whole evening is a blur. 😄😄😄. I always say Cachaça is like a Brazilian woman. Beautiful, sweet, and silky smooth, but it’ll definitely kick your ass. 😆😆😆
Uma cidade vizinha da qual eu moro, Pederneiras, tem um engenho que faz cachaça de canela... Excelente pinga meu amigo. Interior de SP tem história. Da minha cidade temos o Engenho São Luiz. Se puder um dia, experimente.
Is it then like Agricole Rhum ? I have a couple of diferent bottles in my bar, that just hang in there because I dont have Caipirinia so often (dont get Limes so often here that look nice). Is there any other Cocktail then Caipirinha ?
Sim! Eu percebi que ele estava muito alto mesmo. Eu tentei mudar nos vídeos que eu postei depois desse. Esse foi só o segundo vídeo que coloquei aqui no meu Canal. Mais muito obrigado pela dica! Qualquer outra coisa que você perceber que está distraindo ou atrapalhando o vídeo por favor me deixe saber! Estou sempre procurando melhorar
Thank you for showing the world our national drink it is just sad that there is so mutch prejudice against the drink in Brazil. Cachaça have a interesting history after watching your video i when and did some fact look on Cachaça and was amazed to find out just in Brazil there are 4000 different brands.
Interesting video, obrigado. However, not all rums have a molasses base. Rhum agricole is also using a sugar cane base and possibly closer to the cachaca family of spirits. A young silver cachaca will be pretty similar, with the aged or añejos the different type of woods will be setting a cachaca more apart from a Rhum agricole.
Would you say Cachaca is similar to Rum Agricole? It sure sounds like it with all the mentions of vegetal flavors. Also Rum Agricole is made from sugar cane juice, I believe.
Yes it's pretty similar to rum Agricole. The big differences is the fermentation process and the fact that cachaça can be aged in 28 different kinds of woods indegenous to Brazil.
Hello Lui...What do you think are the best Cachaça brands that I can find in the U.S.???...though I'm s tequila lover, you got me really interested about Cachaça...A really good friend recommended me Pitu...What are your thoughts about this???
@@Lui_Fern Good to.know...My friend ( Who is Brazilian by the way) recommended me Pitu....I can't find it here in TX. but I can get Novo Fogo....thank you for your recommendation!!!
Firstly, I would like you to know that I enjoy your videos very much! I'm a spirits-enthusiast beginner from Poland, and spirits like cachaca and pisco are very niche here, and I'd love to know more about them. :D Secondly, about the differences between rum and cachaca - as the main difference, you mentioned that cachaca is made out of fresh cane juice, while rum - out of molasses. I immediately thought about Rhum Agricole, tho, which is also made out of fresh cane juice. So, my question is - what makes cachaca ad Rhum Agricole different, apart from the region of production?
Hey there friend that makes me so happy to hear! I'm so happy to know you enjoyed my videos so far! I plan on focusing heavily on Cachaça and Pisco and I'm glad to know youve been enjoying it! And so to also answer your question, Rhum Agricole and Cachaca are incredibly similar. Both are spirits made from fresh sugar juice, and they both taste relatively similar, at least when they are un-aged. Now for the differences. Rhum Agricole can only be distilled in Column Stills, while a lot of Artisinal Cachaças are pot distilled. Generally speaking, pot distillate is heavier and more flavorful, whereas column distillate is lighter and more “clean.” Cachaça can also only be distilled once. Now for the biggest difference, aging. Rhum Agricole is typically aged in French Oak, like a lot of the spirits in the world. Cachaça on the other hand can be aged in a variety of over 30 different kinds of woods indigenous to Brazil. This creates a giant variety of flavors, textures, combinations and unique expressions since there are so many different woods that you can use. I actually just uploaded another video this week talking about specifically the woods used in cachaça aging as a follow up to this one! You cna check it out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NuiLRiaWAHA.html
@@Lui_Fern Thank you very much for your answer! I'm glad to hear that you will focus on cachaca and pisco, I can't wait to learn more about those fascinating spirits :D
@@boryssosnicki7458 Oh of course!! And yeah those are the two spirits i focus heavily in at my restaurant plus I think more people need to become more aware of them and how to use them! Glad you enjoyed it! 😁🙏
Se numa receita que peça um rum agrícola e eu não tenho em mãos, posso substituir bem por cachaça certo ? Se for fazer isso uso uma barata tipo industrial ou uma envelhecida (não muito envelhecida) ?
@@Lui_Fern what I've found is rums Distilled from sugar cane and aged 8-12-15yrs are Vastly smoother than those made from Molasses which generally aren't aged more than 5yrs
So I get it from tm distributor BUT i know for a fact the Total Wine in Natick, MA carries the silver and the barrel aged. I would assume the other total wines may carry them as well.
euh... and what about the "Rhum agricole", from French islands, such as Martinique and Guadeloupe? Rhum Agricole is also made of sugarcane juices and not from molasses. Yet, it is called Rum. So, if it is a mistake to qualify the Cachaça as a "type of Rum" because it is not bade from molasses, the same would apply to some of the best Rums in the world, from the Martinique. Hence my question: what, if any, is the main characteristic that distinguishes a Cachaça from a Rhum Agricole? Thanks!
Geographical location, the ability to age in 28 different kinds of indigenous woods to Brazil. I believe there are more differences but I'll have to get back to you on that one
Yeah it is! The story I was always told, it comes from a long time ago when people were too drunk and they would say a 'spirit' would take them over. Kinda weird but kinda funny haha Destilado makes so much more sense
@@Lui_Fern i am from Germany- i mostly find brazilian Cachaça in our liqur stores and the few times i have had Aguardinete in Spain or some latinamerica countries i don't recall the brands....
@@Lui_Fern They are ok.I of course drink Cachaca mainly as Caipirinha, as far as spirits are comcerned i do prefer certain brands of Rum & Single Malt Whisky
Over the years I have developed a real love of Cachaça. My wife is from Bahia and I go there whenever I can, and that's where I first tried Cachaça. It has such unique flavors and aromas...Always brings back good memories of my times in Brazil. Based on your recommendation, I ordered that Novo Fogo Graciosa...I'm excited to try it as I've never had any of their expressions. Obrigado cara pela os videos! Valeu!
Cara eu fiz esse vídeo muito tempo atrás e na época realmente não tinha nenhuma melhor na área. Hoje trabalho com cachaças bem melhores mas na época queria muito falar sobre cachaça e Ypióca era a melhorzinha das que tinha disponivel.
@@fabriciobatista2325 muito obrigado meu amigo! Quero refazer esse vídeo no futuro depois de ter crescido mais para poder atingir um público maior com coisas que eu aprendi nesses anos.
Let me ask you a question. If I can't get my hands on any because they aren't made for export, how on earth would i talk about them? Also while I admit Ypióca isn't great and this video was made over a year ago, and considering its the most acceptable available Cachaça i don't see what's causing you to be so upset friend.
Your explanation of rum vs cachaca is misleading. Typically, yes, most rum is made from molasses, but there is a category of rum called rhum agricole that is distilled from sugar cane juice. Cachaca is just a rhum agricole made in Brazil, so to call cachaca a Brazilian rum is, in the most general of terms, accurate. Saying that cachaca has a distinct flavor profile doesn't mean that it isn't a rum. There are plenty of rums that have distinct flavor profiles, especially between different regions.
Except that it's not "Just a rhum agricole made in Brazil" saying that actually devalues the creation and origin of each variation of this spirit. Yes, at its core it is very similar, absolutely. But cachaça has its own norms and long history and also not all cachaça tastes like rhum agricole and vice versa. And there are many many variations that make it stand on its own when compared to rhum agricole. The beauty of sugarcane spirits as a whole is that they are made world wide with lots of small variations that make a big difference in the end. But while it is technically a rum haha I still don't call it that.
Sinceramente eu prefiro cachaça a Whisky, mas no Brasil parece que a galera tem preconceito, se vc bebe whisky é "chique" se bebe cachaça é pinguço kkkk
Cara e muito engraçado isso, porque eu já percebi isso nos brasileiros na nossa comunidade aqui nos Estados Unidos. O pessoal não aprecia os nossos produtos. Especialmente uma coisa tão boa e tão grande quanto a Cachaça! Tem tanta cachaça boa e tantas coisas que podem ser feitas com a cachaça que eu não intendo como que as pessoas não curtem a Cachaça.
Enquanto gringo morando no Brasil eu também notei isso. Acho meio esquisito como os brasileiros desdenham a cachaça. Lógico tem cachaça ruim, mas tem tantas boas. E tem tanta variedade. Se você não gostar d'aquela de balsamo prova a de Carvalho ou de amburana ou de ipê.
Take this tip from a brazilian moonshiner and whisky and cachaça drinker: Dont buy YPIOCA! It sux! You should buy a good cachaça from Salinas town, in the state of minas gerais, like Germana, Meia Lua or Seleta... PS: Porra, Lui, pelo seu nome vc é BR. Ta falando pra eles tomarem ypioca? Ta querendo dar pros gringos pinga de fim de feira:? kkkkkk. Divulgue uma GERMANA PS2: Mesmo assim, ganhou um inscritoi! Ótimo video
Personally, I learned about cachaça from the old Disney movie Saludos Amigos. I really want to try it, though. Ive always enjoyed samlling foreign spirits.
@@Lui_Fern Eu concordo plenamente contigo!A Avua e uma boa cachaca mas nao creio que o preco dela seja compatível com a qualidade que tem.A unica de todas as cachacas da Avua que tiro o chapeu e a curtida na amburana,que na minha opiniao e a melhor madeira que existe pra dar sabor a cachaca.Saude!
@@Lui_Fern Se voce tiver a chance de provar uma Januaria ou Caribé,nao deixe passar..Sao cachacas relativamente nao tao caras mas que bate em muitas conhecidas e renomadas.
Cachaca is rum, it's a Agricole. Agricole uses sugar cane juice, not molasses or dunder. Cachaca has very very similar notes to Agricole rum. The grassy vegetal flavors are in both. Call it cachaca because it comes from Brazil. I'm all onboard with that.
