F**cking hell. As a Finn, I thought we had some tales about boozing, but that should be regarded as a world record. I once downed 4 half litre caipirinhas and it took me couple of days to recover and I'm no amateur.

I'm from Brazil and always wondered what was different about the Rum processing! Thanks for that! Bonus tips for making a caipirinha: 1. Cut out the lime's ends and fibrous core before smashing it. It reduces the likelihood your drink will get bitter. 2. Don't fall for the brown sugar fallacy. In Brazil, sugar is white sugar. And the non-refined works better, as it helps to grind the lime. There is a brown variety, called mascavo, but the stuff you have in the US is just regular sugar colored with molasses. And it tastes bad! 3. The upper left one at 6:40, with the bottle wrapped in straw, is my go-to recommended brand to buy outside Brazil, since it's commonly exported and tastes pretty good. Run away from Pitú, and the cheap 51 bottles, they're waaay to acidic. 4. If you're ordering a caipirinha in Brazil, make sure to specify you want it made with cachaça. The drink name here is usually taken as a generic term for "spirit with fruit", so you might end up with a cup of sweetened vodka. :-P

hello Brazil here is an interesting fact that you forgot, some cachaça bottles can have different animals or plants inside to give a more exotic or different taste, the craziest ones I've ever seen were bottles that had crab or snakes inside them, and plants There are native trees here such as jabuticaba or acerola
and the ones with plant inside are unsully consdired to have medicinal properties. One of the most popular versions in cachaça com jambu, which gives you that very unique numbness to the tongue.
Hi! Brazilian here. Your video got my attention from the beginning to the end. Well done, well produced and made me so proud! You gotta try the Cashew caipirinha, it's amazing! Well done, dude!
@@CometoCheesus here in Rio de Janeiro and Bahia we don't add limes. it's a similar process but instead of limes you use 2 ripe cashew on your glass. Mash your 2 cashews, add up to 2 tbsp of sugar, add the silver cachaça, ice, stir (or shake) and serve!
For those who wanna try it and don't have a bottle of cachaca at home, you can replace it with vodka - but instead of caipirinha it's going to be called caipiroska.
My guy, watch out for this bananinha she speaks of. You will NOT notice the alcohol and it WILL sneak up on you. You will finish the night in a police station or on the curb lol.
As a Brazilian, this is pretty well summed up and very complete in it's information. Loved the video, also Cachaça is generally very cheap by nature which makes it a very popular drink and personally since it's a bit lighter and fruity goes well in mixing for drinks (like caipirinha, which is traditionally made with lime juice, but there's a lot of variations that use different fruit)
Wonderful vid, mr. It's always good when our country historical and cultural aspects get recognized, particularly when it's about local producers and manufacturers
Few things in the world are better than drinking caipirinha on the beach. You did a good amount of research on Brazil to make this video, great content.
Would say that the brazilian equivalent of "shots shots shots" is "vira vira vira, vira vira vira, vira vira vira virouuuu", "vira" beeing best translatade as "bottons up" in this case
There's more to the type of wood used in storing and aging cachaça. Usually the Inox tanks are for the "white", "regular" cachaça, and cheaper brands usually don't leave it in the tanks for the entire year but, when they do and use fresh sugarcane, it's a nice way to control acidity; Next up comes Jequitiba and Amendoim-do-campo barrels, reserved for the "prata" or Silver cachaça. These types of wood interfere very little with the cachaça in taste and smell, but "rounds up" the flavor, making it more smooth and warm; And up next comes the traditional brrazillian wood barrels of Jequitiba-Rosa and Amburana, both used for the "ouro" our Gold cachaça. Amburana's roots are also considered medicinal in the local tradition, and not only lowers the acidity and makes the liquor more yellow in color, but also makes the cachaça smoother, a bit less alccoholic in taste with a hint of vanilla. The Jequitiba-Rosa makes it more golden in color and the taste more akin to an oak-barrel aging. Also there are more regional distileries that use Balsamo and Araruva for different tastes; And finally, the imported barrels for the truly aged cachaças, that can go up to 10 years and sold as "Reserva" or reserved Cachaça, with fewer bottles made and higher prices. Usually the distillers import used or new barrels used for whiskey, Bourbon, cognac and Sherry. There's also a regional variety called "Azuladinha" and can be found only on the region of Paraty. Like the name says, it gives a peculiar faint blue color and also a very light citrus taste, both due to distillers adding Tangerine leaves to the bottom of the still during the distilling process. It's also known as "Laranjinha Celeste" in some brands and it's my peprsonal favourite.
TH-cam just recommended this to me, front page. And the quality is impressive, I really hope the channel pops off The research, the editing, the content itself, all top notch
you should try quentão next!! i think the best way to describe it is as a spiced cachaça cider we normally make it during "festa junina" It's a midwinter harvest festival in which we celebrate the "caipira" lifestyle, which is the way farmers live/used to live Quentão literally translates to "large hot" and it's super simple to make mix cachaça, cinammon, ginger, cloves, apple slices, orange and lime peel, boil all together and drink it hot
The BEST drink with cachaça is a drink from Paraty (one of the most beautiful places on Earth). The drink is called Jorge Amado (in homage to the writer), is made with cachaça Gabriela (cachaça resweetened and aged with clove and cinnamon), sugar, ice and passion fruit (sometimes lime too). It's sold at pint size with ice at beaches in Paraty and I swear nothing in this world can best this.
I got curious about the source of the Cachaça first manufacture you used... Although there is an african island called São Vicente, Brasil during the colonial period had a captaincy division format, where there was a São Vicente captaincy, that nowadays comprised parts of states of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Minas Gerais. According to Cachaça's history, one of the places historians imagine Cachaça could be first made was in São Vicente captaincy.
Can’t believe you only have 2k subs. Great video, great editing quality and it’s awesome to have somebody that actually knows what they are talking about… keep it up!! 👍🏼
I used to hate it because back when I was bartending, if you broke a glass, your punishment was to have the cheapest cachaça poured down your throat by another bartender, and clumsy man that I am, this happened to me a lot. After living in Brazil, I've learned to love it. Nothing beats a good caipirinha made with the good stuff and I notice I don't get nearly as bad hangovers from it as I do from other spirits. These days I get migraines easily, so caipis have quickly become a favourite of mine. First time seeing this channel. Really enjoyed the history. I think you would enjoy Brazil a lot. You match the fun vibe of the country. You should check it out some time!
Awesome video! Cachaça is a national icon and very flavorful drink! Love to see it being praised outside of Brazil. Nonetheless the video had a few misconceptions I find it's relevant to clear up. - The cachaça was first brewed in Brazil. It indeed started in São Vicente, though it is located on the coast of Brazil, being one of the first captaincies of Portugal and is today the oldest city in all Brazil (Saint Vincent Island in Africa was never colonized by Portugal); - Cachaça is obtained by distilling the fermented sugarcane must, not the sugarcane juice; - The color of the cachaça is not added, but results from the aging in wooden barrels. Up to a year of aging you get Silver Cachaça, that is clear. From one to three or more years of aging, you get this golden color, thus the name Gold Cachaça. Also, the aging of cachaça is not mandated by law. You can have unaged cachaça. The legislation mandates only that for it to be called an aged cachaça, it has to age for at least a year. Still, great video! You rocked the caipirinha!
Caipirinha is amazing. its that type of drink you think you can easily handle, after all it is so sweet and everything blends together so well… … and than you realize how life is beautiful, you’re dancing but there’s no music on and also want to kiss someone
As a brazilian I always say cachaça is the best drink, you can have it neat, with or without ice, mixed with anything from soda, juice or just add some fruit and it's delicious. Personally my favorite brand is Ypioca which is from my state (Ceará) and they have a special edition called Ypioca 160 to celebrate the 160 years of the brand and that's the best cachaça at least for me.
Cara, o que tu encontra no mercado é "mediana" - a "da boa" é de um cara do interior com alambique no quintal e o líquido é azul contra a luz do sol. Sem falar que dá para usar como desinfetante e acelerante para fogueira...
American by birth. Brasileiro by choice. 20 years into my journey and completely settled in Southern Brasil. Parabéns (congrats) on this video. You were spot-on with your information. I love caipirinhas when it is hot. You should try a "Robo de Gal o" as an alternative cocktail. Cachaça velhas (barrel aged) from artisanal producers wit 5 years of age or more give any whiskey pause as to which spirit is superior. I have bottles of Armazem Vieira with 16 and 32 years sitting in my cocktail cabinet that I treasure for special occasions. Unfortunately, you rarely, if ever, see these outside of Brasil. Come to Brasil, meu amigão e bebe conosco. Até logo.
"Is pretty easy to drink, but very strong at the samw time". Yeeeeah, that's bring some memories from my 16th (also, it baffles me that Americans have to be 21. I used to buy alcohol at 12 with no issues at all lol) birthday... well, sort of. I remember til half the bottle, after that I only know I woke up 15 or so hours later in a room that wasn't mine, with a blond girl by my side I don't even remember seeing at the party, literally on the opposite side of São Paulo that I live lmao On a side note, there's also what we call "caipifruta". The concept is the same but is made with any other fruit, usually kiwi or strawberry, and we tend to use sake (Idk if you spell like that in English, but is what I believe the most known Japanese alcohol) instead of cachaça On another note. I like mine REALLY sweet, you saying that little sugar could be "over the top" (or something like that) was actually funny to me. When I do it for myself, you can barely taste the alcohol xD ~and the lime becomes only an after taste
Forgive my rusty english. I speak from Rio de Janeiro, and loved to see your video. I love my country, it's a very good place to live, despite the problems. Um grande abraço e continue com seu trabalho. 😊
The reason we don't shake our caipirinhas is you can get them bitter by disturbing the pith too much. Some people will even go through all the trouble to take the lime's midline off and upscale bars will be gentle with the muddling for the same reason. IMO it all comes down to how much you bear/enjoy bitterness and how long your limes will stand, not long for me... 🙈 Anyway, hi from 🇧🇷, great video!
Cachaça is amazing! It is the cheapest and best distilled spirit around. As a Brazilian, I really like cachaça aged in oak, amburana, jequitibá and american oak. The last one is particularly close in flavor and texture to whisky. Each one of these types of wood add an unique and rich aroma. As for fruits, lime is traditional and delicious, but pineapple and passionfruit also go very well with cachaça. There's also another one, aged with jambu. It's a local plant grown in Pará, a state of Brazil. It has a special property of provoking numbness in the mouth. The end result has the heat from the cachaça, with the additional numbing from the jambu. You must spread it in your mouth for a few seconds before drinking. The experience is unforgettable: your lips tremble, your tongue becomes numb, and the fruity herbal flavor binds it all together.
4:31 In Brazil cachaça has another less oficial name: "Pinga". Historic rumors in Brazil sujests that the name "Pinga" comes from when slaves were distilling sugar cane juice for the production of sugar, the vapor from the boilers condensed on the ceiling and driped on the slaves back, causing pain due to the constant violence they sufered from whiping. the name "Pinga" can be directly traduced to "Drip", making the conection with the driping alcohol from the ceiling of the sugar factories. I just thought it would be nice to add this comment :)
A traditional way of drinking shots of cachaça is with salt and lemon, called "cu de burro". Where I live, we put a pinch of salt on the back of our hand and lick it, then suck a slice of lemon and drink the cachaça.
Já fiz isso na roça, tava um calor do cão, num bar quente jogando sinuca, tava chuviscando e molhando tudo, tava chupando manga e me ofereceram isso, o dia ficou 100% melhor kkkk
If you liked Caipirinha, you could try next some _Quentão_ , though it's already past its season. It's a winter beverage made with Cachaça during June, associated with the _Festa Junina_ Holidays - St John Festival if you will; the whole month of June is dedicated to St John and from 13th to 29th the Festival takes place, with festival fairs on the 13th, 24th and 29th. 13th being St. Anthony, 24th being St. John, and 29th being St. Peter (and Paul in Brazil only). Basically it's called _Quentão_ which means "Hot" but in the Augmentative form, because it's made by slowly boiling and mixing Cachaça and Caramel, together with lime and or orange juice (or just the peels, depends of the recipe) cinammon, indian cloves and ginger. It's very spicy and very strong, it's a good drink to warm up during winter nights. In the festival fairs it's made in large cauldrons and it gives off a very strong and sweet, tantalizing aroma. (Tangent) It's simmilar to another famous beverage from that festival as well, which is called _Vinho Quente_ (literally means Hot Wine), which is almost the exact same recipe, but instead of Cachaça, as the name says, you use Wine (preferably sweet), and instead of lime/orange peels you use lime juice and diced apples. Actually, if you think about it, it's the same recipe the Spanish call _Sangria_ , difference being we serve it hot and boil it + there's the caramel slowly diluted and mixed in the beverage. We also have something we call _Sangria_ ,but it's generally just diluted Wine plus sugar, and served cold.
BRAZIL CARALHO! Yes everyone. Cachaça is awesome. It is strong, naturally sweet, and really tasteful. And it is not expensive to produce. In Brazil you find a reasonable bottle for about 4 dollars. You have to try it.
Great video, just a quick note, São Vicente is the earliest colonized part of Brazil, and where it is commonly referenced to be the first documentation of the production of "aguardente de cana", one of the names of cachaça
I just loved this video! Unfortunately my stomach had a bad time with cachaça once before and now I can’t stand even the smell of it anymore lol. And maybe you had already, but if not, you should try other traditional brazilian cocktails made with cachaça like pinga com mel e limão (cachaça, lime juice and honey, a classic around here and some people even claim it helps healing colds and flu), bombeirinho (cachaça, lime juice, gooseberry syrup and ice, used to be my personal favorite) and maybe rabo de galo (cachaça, Cynar, vermouth and ice; the name is the literal translation to “cocktail” in portuguese lol).

3. Bento Velho
4. Pitu Silver
5. Boazinha

@@CometoCheesus you'll love it!
@@felipedacal868 Thank you for the recommendation
For those who wanna try it and don't have a bottle of cachaca at home, you can replace it with vodka - but instead of caipirinha it's going to be called caipiroska.
Caipivodka
@@arthurleitaobarbosa3105 No Brasil é chamado de Caipiroska...
@@Augusto.Siciliani primeira vez q vejo chamar assim
@@arthurleitaobarbosa3105 nunca vi caipivodka, já morei no Pará e Espírito Santo e nos dois chamam de Caipiroska
Can also switch it for Sake for a Sakerinha
You better not give up this channel, this shit is gold!
Thank you!
You have to try Bananinha! It's a delicious banana cachaça. It's really smooth, you drink a bottle without noticing
Meu deus bananinha me DESTRÓI a gente vai sentindo o gostinho de balinha e quando vê tá chorando em posição fetal na calçada
too sweet and the flavour is artificial. Better to make a caipirinha with a true cachaça
My guy, watch out for this bananinha she speaks of. You will NOT notice the alcohol and it WILL sneak up on you. You will finish the night in a police station or on the curb lol.
As a Brazilian, this is pretty well summed up and very complete in it's information. Loved the video, also Cachaça is generally very cheap by nature which makes it a very popular drink and personally since it's a bit lighter and fruity goes well in mixing for drinks (like caipirinha, which is traditionally made with lime juice, but there's a lot of variations that use different fruit)
Wonderful vid, mr. It's always good when our country historical and cultural aspects get recognized, particularly when it's about local producers and manufacturers
Few things in the world are better than drinking caipirinha on the beach. You did a good amount of research on Brazil to make this video, great content.
Thank you, I have Brazilians very nearby
0:31 Come to Brazil!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷
Fiquei com água na boca, e se eu fizesse uma caipirinha AGORA?
Eu incentivo, beba! saúde
Would say that the brazilian equivalent of "shots shots shots" is "vira vira vira, vira vira vira, vira vira vira virouuuu", "vira" beeing best translatade as "bottons up" in this case
Kudos for pronouncing the Word *Cachaça* with perfect *CHA* and *ÇA* , native Brazilian here.
Amei o video amigo, adorei a qualidade da edições, muito bom o roteiro ...

Um video incrível
Parabéns 🎉🇧🇷🎉
Obrigado, agradeço as amáveis palavras. Saúde

There's more to the type of wood used in storing and aging cachaça.
Usually the Inox tanks are for the "white", "regular" cachaça, and cheaper brands usually don't leave it in the tanks for the entire year but, when they do and use fresh sugarcane, it's a nice way to control acidity;
Next up comes Jequitiba and Amendoim-do-campo barrels, reserved for the "prata" or Silver cachaça. These types of wood interfere very little with the cachaça in taste and smell, but "rounds up" the flavor, making it more smooth and warm;
And up next comes the traditional brrazillian wood barrels of Jequitiba-Rosa and Amburana, both used for the "ouro" our Gold cachaça. Amburana's roots are also considered medicinal in the local tradition, and not only lowers the acidity and makes the liquor more yellow in color, but also makes the cachaça smoother, a bit less alccoholic in taste with a hint of vanilla. The Jequitiba-Rosa makes it more golden in color and the taste more akin to an oak-barrel aging. Also there are more regional distileries that use Balsamo and Araruva for different tastes;
And finally, the imported barrels for the truly aged cachaças, that can go up to 10 years and sold as "Reserva" or reserved Cachaça, with fewer bottles made and higher prices. Usually the distillers import used or new barrels used for whiskey, Bourbon, cognac and Sherry.
There's also a regional variety called "Azuladinha" and can be found only on the region of Paraty. Like the name says, it gives a peculiar faint blue color and also a very light citrus taste, both due to distillers adding Tangerine leaves to the bottom of the still during the distilling process. It's also known as "Laranjinha Celeste" in some brands and it's my peprsonal favourite.
One of these days this channel will pop off with subscribers.
I like how you think
it's beginning...
TH-cam just recommended this to me, front page. And the quality is impressive, I really hope the channel pops off
The research, the editing, the content itself, all top notch
@@Hadrexus same here
When you summon brazilians, its pops easy!
you should try quentão next!!
i think the best way to describe it is as a spiced cachaça cider
we normally make it during "festa junina" It's a midwinter harvest festival in which we celebrate the "caipira" lifestyle, which is the way farmers live/used to live
Quentão literally translates to "large hot" and it's super simple to make
mix cachaça, cinammon, ginger, cloves, apple slices, orange and lime peel, boil all together and drink it hot
Caipirinha and churrasco. Best combo ever!!!
The BEST drink with cachaça is a drink from Paraty (one of the most beautiful places on Earth). The drink is called Jorge Amado (in homage to the writer), is made with cachaça Gabriela (cachaça resweetened and aged with clove and cinnamon), sugar, ice and passion fruit (sometimes lime too). It's sold at pint size with ice at beaches in Paraty and I swear nothing in this world can best this.
I got curious about the source of the Cachaça first manufacture you used...
Although there is an african island called São Vicente, Brasil during the colonial period had a captaincy division format, where there was a São Vicente captaincy, that nowadays comprised parts of states of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Minas Gerais. According to Cachaça's history, one of the places historians imagine Cachaça could be first made was in São Vicente captaincy.
Can’t believe you only have 2k subs. Great video, great editing quality and it’s awesome to have somebody that actually knows what they are talking about… keep it up!! 👍🏼
I used to hate it because back when I was bartending, if you broke a glass, your punishment was to have the cheapest cachaça poured down your throat by another bartender, and clumsy man that I am, this happened to me a lot.
After living in Brazil, I've learned to love it. Nothing beats a good caipirinha made with the good stuff and I notice I don't get nearly as bad hangovers from it as I do from other spirits. These days I get migraines easily, so caipis have quickly become a favourite of mine.
First time seeing this channel. Really enjoyed the history. I think you would enjoy Brazil a lot. You match the fun vibe of the country. You should check it out some time!
Hey man, first time i've seen an american saying cachaça correctly and not catchaça, congrats!!
Yup, I can really see his effort into speaking correctly the most important Portuguese words for the video
@@gabrielcapeche113 Ironicamente o povo mais velho do centro oeste fala catchaça kkkkkkkkkkk
Catchaça ainda é bom, os gringos falam "catchaca" mesmo
As a brazillian bartender, you got it right. you gotta shake it, or else it would be so much worse! And shake it vigorously!
It's so amusing to hear you speaking words in our language. Your pronunciation of "Branca" made it feel like an artist's name
Fantastic video! Great work explaining the history of cachaça and very nice to see you trying to pronounce some portuguese words. Saúde, amigo :)
que bom que você gostou, estou aprendendo português bem devagar
Awesome video! Cachaça is a national icon and very flavorful drink! Love to see it being praised outside of Brazil. Nonetheless the video had a few misconceptions I find it's relevant to clear up.
- The cachaça was first brewed in Brazil. It indeed started in São Vicente, though it is located on the coast of Brazil, being one of the first captaincies of Portugal and is today the oldest city in all Brazil (Saint Vincent Island in Africa was never colonized by Portugal);
- Cachaça is obtained by distilling the fermented sugarcane must, not the sugarcane juice;
- The color of the cachaça is not added, but results from the aging in wooden barrels. Up to a year of aging you get Silver Cachaça, that is clear. From one to three or more years of aging, you get this golden color, thus the name Gold Cachaça. Also, the aging of cachaça is not mandated by law. You can have unaged cachaça. The legislation mandates only that for it to be called an aged cachaça, it has to age for at least a year.
Still, great video! You rocked the caipirinha!
5:38, yep, Pettiness is like Portugal's second name
as a native, I found this video was so well researched !! I'm impressed!!
You definitely deserve more subscribers. Keep it up! Cheers from Rio de Janeiro, Brasil!
A nice and frosty caipirinha by the end of the week is truly a great brazilian experience.
Just found this channel and i loved it
Thank you, I've got a few liquor, meat and of course, cheese videos to view!
Caipirinha is amazing. its that type of drink you think you can easily handle, after all it is so sweet and everything blends together so well…
… and than you realize how life is beautiful, you’re dancing but there’s no music on and also want to kiss someone
As a brazilian I always say cachaça is the best drink, you can have it neat, with or without ice, mixed with anything from soda, juice or just add some fruit and it's delicious. Personally my favorite brand is Ypioca which is from my state (Ceará) and they have a special edition called Ypioca 160 to celebrate the 160 years of the brand and that's the best cachaça at least for me.
Cara, o que tu encontra no mercado é "mediana" - a "da boa" é de um cara do interior com alambique no quintal e o líquido é azul contra a luz do sol.
Sem falar que dá para usar como desinfetante e acelerante para fogueira...
My favorite caipirinha is the pineapple one!! (And you can do it with sake if cachaça's flavor is too strong, i do it sometime)
Caipirinha is the best!
Cachaça is awesome. ❤
Drink responsibly!
American by birth. Brasileiro by choice. 20 years into my journey and completely settled in Southern Brasil. Parabéns (congrats) on this video. You were spot-on with your information. I love caipirinhas when it is hot. You should try a "Robo de Gal o" as an alternative cocktail. Cachaça velhas (barrel aged) from artisanal producers wit 5 years of age or more give any whiskey pause as to which spirit is superior. I have bottles of Armazem Vieira with 16 and 32 years sitting in my cocktail cabinet that I treasure for special occasions. Unfortunately, you rarely, if ever, see these outside of Brasil. Come to Brasil, meu amigão e bebe conosco. Até logo.
Another cool fact is that in Brazil, sugarcane production also fuels cars with alcohol, which is why we are number 1 in production.
Lovely video! Love from brazil!
"Is pretty easy to drink, but very strong at the samw time". Yeeeeah, that's bring some memories from my 16th (also, it baffles me that Americans have to be 21. I used to buy alcohol at 12 with no issues at all lol) birthday... well, sort of. I remember til half the bottle, after that I only know I woke up 15 or so hours later in a room that wasn't mine, with a blond girl by my side I don't even remember seeing at the party, literally on the opposite side of São Paulo that I live lmao
On a side note, there's also what we call "caipifruta". The concept is the same but is made with any other fruit, usually kiwi or strawberry, and we tend to use sake (Idk if you spell like that in English, but is what I believe the most known Japanese alcohol) instead of cachaça
On another note. I like mine REALLY sweet, you saying that little sugar could be "over the top" (or something like that) was actually funny to me. When I do it for myself, you can barely taste the alcohol xD ~and the lime becomes only an after taste
Excellent research and wonderful caipirinha!!!!! Let’s have more!!!!
Cachaça is easy to pronounce when you are drunk
Forgive my rusty english. I speak from Rio de Janeiro, and loved to see your video. I love my country, it's a very good place to live, despite the problems.
Um grande abraço e continue com seu trabalho.
😊
Obrigado amigo. Eu amo o povo brasileiro
The quality of the content is amazing for such a small channel. I'm sure you'll grow a lot!
nice video! High quality research and very interesting throughout the entire video, you got +1 subscriber from Brasil. keep the good work bro
I can't believe this channel has less than a thousand subscribers!
It will be no time until it has 100k, and then a million!
Great documentary and very good caipirinha receipt 😊
Brazil mentioned 🥳🎉
The reason we don't shake our caipirinhas is you can get them bitter by disturbing the pith too much.
Some people will even go through all the trouble to take the lime's midline off and upscale bars will be gentle with the muddling for the same reason.
IMO it all comes down to how much you bear/enjoy bitterness and how long your limes will stand, not long for me... 🙈
Anyway, hi from 🇧🇷, great video!
0:31 I see what you did there...
Cachaça is amazing! It is the cheapest and best distilled spirit around.
As a Brazilian, I really like cachaça aged in oak, amburana, jequitibá and american oak. The last one is particularly close in flavor and texture to whisky. Each one of these types of wood add an unique and rich aroma.
As for fruits, lime is traditional and delicious, but pineapple and passionfruit also go very well with cachaça.
There's also another one, aged with jambu. It's a local plant grown in Pará, a state of Brazil. It has a special property of provoking numbness in the mouth. The end result has the heat from the cachaça, with the additional numbing from the jambu. You must spread it in your mouth for a few seconds before drinking. The experience is unforgettable: your lips tremble, your tongue becomes numb, and the fruity herbal flavor binds it all together.
Anything that makes my mouth go numb sounds "interesting"
@@CometoCheesus It may also cause tingling. Which I find more interesting than numbing.
@@CometoCheesus I love it. It's best served neat!
Aminzingly good production in your videos, expect a massive boom in viewership/subscriber in thr near future, the algorithm seems to be favoring you.
Banger video. Deserves a ton more views, so commenting for the algorithm.
Also, you can already consider yourself an honorary brazilian citizen.
4:31 In Brazil cachaça has another less oficial name: "Pinga". Historic rumors in Brazil sujests that the name "Pinga" comes from when slaves were distilling sugar cane juice for the production of sugar, the vapor from the boilers condensed on the ceiling and driped on the slaves back, causing pain due to the constant violence they sufered from whiping. the name "Pinga" can be directly traduced to "Drip", making the conection with the driping alcohol from the ceiling of the sugar factories. I just thought it would be nice to add this comment :)
As a brazilian guy, I can guarantee this video is amazing, I've loved it
this is a really high quality video I was shocked when I saw you only have 1k subscribers
Man, that's a very good video! Thank you 🤝🏻🥃
Passion fruit makes an even more refreshing caipirinha
Great video! There is a lot of history behind Brazil’s national spirit
What a great video m8. Keep the working going
A traditional way of drinking shots of cachaça is with salt and lemon, called "cu de burro". Where I live, we put a pinch of salt on the back of our hand and lick it, then suck a slice of lemon and drink the cachaça.
Já fiz isso na roça, tava um calor do cão, num bar quente jogando sinuca, tava chuviscando e molhando tudo, tava chupando manga e me ofereceram isso, o dia ficou 100% melhor kkkk
If you liked Caipirinha, you could try next some _Quentão_ , though it's already past its season. It's a winter beverage made with Cachaça during June, associated with the _Festa Junina_ Holidays - St John Festival if you will; the whole month of June is dedicated to St John and from 13th to 29th the Festival takes place, with festival fairs on the 13th, 24th and 29th. 13th being St. Anthony, 24th being St. John, and 29th being St. Peter (and Paul in Brazil only).
Basically it's called _Quentão_ which means "Hot" but in the Augmentative form, because it's made by slowly boiling and mixing Cachaça and Caramel, together with lime and or orange juice (or just the peels, depends of the recipe) cinammon, indian cloves and ginger. It's very spicy and very strong, it's a good drink to warm up during winter nights.
In the festival fairs it's made in large cauldrons and it gives off a very strong and sweet, tantalizing aroma.
(Tangent) It's simmilar to another famous beverage from that festival as well, which is called _Vinho Quente_ (literally means Hot Wine), which is almost the exact same recipe, but instead of Cachaça, as the name says, you use Wine (preferably sweet), and instead of lime/orange peels you use lime juice and diced apples. Actually, if you think about it, it's the same recipe the Spanish call _Sangria_ , difference being we serve it hot and boil it + there's the caramel slowly diluted and mixed in the beverage. We also have something we call _Sangria_ ,but it's generally just diluted Wine plus sugar, and served cold.
Great video, fun fact is that cachaça is extremely cheap here in Brazil, sometimes it cost less then a dollar for a liter.
You should talk about Pão de Queijo and Açaí! Congrats from Brasil! And, as always, come to brasil! 🇧🇷 🎉
Another great video!
Thank you for watching!
Thanks you cachaça, for warming me up when everything around me can feel so cold.
Video soooo good, why does this channel only have 800 subscribers instead of 800 thousand?!?!
(shakes fist at algorithm)
What a great vídeo!!
We approve your message! You are a Brazilian now! 😂🤣😂🤣
This a very well researched and edited video. Great work! You earned a subscriber. What an underrated channel.
Much appreciated! Welcome aboard
BRAZIL CARALHO!
Yes everyone. Cachaça is awesome. It is strong, naturally sweet, and really tasteful. And it is not expensive to produce. In Brazil you find a reasonable bottle for about 4 dollars. You have to try it.
Cachaça is the only word that have the 3 C letters that in Brazilian Portuguese have a very different pronunciation and sound in the same word.
´´i feel like i´m on the beaches of Copacabana`` KKKKKKKK you are amazing
Ainda começou no ritmo "olha que coisa mais linda mais cheia de graça"
KKKKK
Great video, just a quick note, São Vicente is the earliest colonized part of Brazil, and where it is commonly referenced to be the first documentation of the production of "aguardente de cana", one of the names of cachaça
"Shots shots shots would be our equivalent of "Vira, Vira, Vira", which is basically a " Drink, drink drink"
I just loved this video! Unfortunately my stomach had a bad time with cachaça once before and now I can’t stand even the smell of it anymore lol.
And maybe you had already, but if not, you should try other traditional brazilian cocktails made with cachaça like pinga com mel e limão (cachaça, lime juice and honey, a classic around here and some people even claim it helps healing colds and flu), bombeirinho (cachaça, lime juice, gooseberry syrup and ice, used to be my personal favorite) and maybe rabo de galo (cachaça, Cynar, vermouth and ice; the name is the literal translation to “cocktail” in portuguese lol).
