Silver Cachaça

The Caipirinha is Brazil’s national drink. It means “little hillbilly,” named after the Brazilian peasants who invented the drink hundreds of years ago, using the ingredients that grew around them. To make your own, chop up half a lime and muddle it in a rocks glass with 1 tbsp of superfine sugar. Add ice and 60 ml of Novo Fogo Silver Cachaça, and stir well. Garnish with a wedge of lime and you’re ready to enjoy!

After the organically-farmed sugarcane is harvested using machetes, the juice is extracted, and wild yeast ferments it into wine within 24 hours. This cachaça is distilled in small batches, just once, in a copper alembic pot still. After the distillation, the cachaça is rested for 12 months in stainless steel tanks. Resting a cachaça in an inert environment increases the smoothness and richness of its texture, meaning that Novo Fogo’s Silver Cachaça emerges from its resting period with a beautiful unctuosity on the palate.
