Lindt Caipirinha Chocolate Bar

Jim's Chocolate Mission managed to get a hold of a Lindt Caipirinha chocolate bar.

I'm not entirely sure how one can possibly squeeze that much glorious sin into such a small package, but I'm pretty sure the folks at Lindt have the right blueprints somewhere.

Jim says:

Overall the combination of the dark chocolate and lime cocktail fillings made for an utterly fantastic synergy of flavours. I wasn't sure about this combination before I tried it, though on reflection I would have to say this was one of the more enjoyable bars I have had this year.


The filling is said to be 10% lime and 3% "rum". No telling, really, whether Lindt is actually using cachaça. Often, marketers find that just calling it "rum" is easier on northern-hemisphere tongues.

Then again, I'd be willing to forgive this in light of the sheer audacity of delivering a "caipirinha" chocolate bar.

Bravo.

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!
