Cuca Fresca's Ready-To-Drink Mixes

The folks at Cuca Fresca sent over their new ready-to-drink cocktails in three flavors: caipirinha, mango, and passion fruit.

All in all, quite good, particularly the passion fruit. (You'll notice its level — the bottle at far right — is slightly lower than the other two.) The caipirinha is a but more sugary than my tastes, but still very refreshing over ice. (And perhaps gives one an idea why the Brazilian government wants to regulate the definition of its national cocktail.)

You can find these in the following states: NY, FL MD, DC, MA, CT, TX, GA, OK, and MO.

About Cachaçagora

Hi. My name is Phil Gomes. By day, I work at a public relations firm as its senior vice president of digital integration. I'm a proud SF East Bay native who currently lives in Chicago.
I was introduced to cachaça by my wife, a Carioca. Her mom, in turn, is the president of the Confraria de Cachaça do Copo Furado, a group that meets monthly to talk about Brazil's indigenous spirit. I participated in one of their meetings when I vacationed in Rio in July 2008.
This started me thinking about the basic question of whether cachaça in the U.S. is today where, say, tequila was some decades ago.
So I decided to start this blog as a means to record and share the cachaça-related items I've been seeing day-to-day. I hope to be sharing recipes, impressions, and random thoughts as the U.S. continues to catch on to the potential for this particular spirit.
Oh... The name? "Cachaçagora" is a portmanteau of "Cachaça" and "agora", which is the Portuguese word for "now". In Greek, "agora" also means public square. I hope to meet the expectations of both.
Saúde!

Cachaçagora - Cachaça, Caipirinha, And Cocktails

Quite possibly the best English-language blog about cachaça, the national distilled spirit of Brazil.
