Cherry Brandy and Cachaça, Two Ways

The Intoxicologist has two holiday cocktails, sharing a recipe from a friend and offering an adaptation of her own:

Cherry Samba, ala Julianna Cain

  • 1 ounce Cherry Brandy
  • 1 ounce Cachaça
  • 1 ounce Lemon Juice
  • 1 ounce Egg White
  • 1 ounce White Cranberry

Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice.  Shake vigorously until egg is nice and frothy.  Strain into a champagne flute.

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!
