Cocktail Recipe: Cachaçaccino

Named by my friend Ansgar, this Starbucks-menu-sounding recipe doesn't actually have coffee in it. Make it for yourself and you'll get an idea of how it got its name. I served this for Easter and many came back for seconds. I'm definitely adding this to the brunch cocktail repertoire.

Cachaçaccino

4 oz 2% milk
2 oz cachaça
2 tsp sugar
Nutmeg

Combine the milk, cachaça, and sugar together in a shaker. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Add ice. Shake. Strain into rocks glass. Let foam bubble to the top. Sprinkle with nutmeg and serve.

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!

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