It is also the inseparable companion of the "feijoada", the typical Brazilian food that is served every Wednesday and Saturday in most of the Brazilian restaurants all over the country.

Where to Find Spirits

In the next few months various brands of Brazilian cachaça will be appearing on liquor store shelves all over the country as the Brazilian organization of cachaça producers in the state of Minas Gerais, Ampaq, unleashes ten premiere export brands through its distribution networks in San Francisco, Miami and New York.

Jamie Sundquist

Since writing the article about cachaça in the November 1998 issue of Brazzil, I have received hundreds of inquiries from readers all over the world interested in tasting the increasingly popular sugar cane derived liquor. As cachaça carries its notoriety beyond its Brazilian borders to bars and restaurants in every corner of the United States, it is no wonder that the Brazilian government is working hard to expand into the newly discovered American market.

Chalk this new interest in international markets up to current consumption in Europe and cachaça producers' desire to tap into the large population of Brazilians stateside who have influenced American culture with their beverage of choice (well, besides a "lourinha bem gelada"—very cold little blonde—, also known as a cold beer). Fortunately, in the next few months various brands will be appearing on liquor store shelves all over the country as the Brazilian organization of cachaça producers in the state of Minas Gerais, Ampaq, unleashes ten premiere export brands through its distribution networks in San Francisco, Miami and New York.

As cachaça aficionados know, quality depends on the means of distillation which can influence the price, taste and aroma of the liquor. Before buying a bottle of cachaça, varying in price between $2.00 and $20.00 per liter depending on the brand, here is a quick five-step method that makers of the Riacho Doce brand cachaça use to determine quality:

1) Hold the bottle up to the light. Quality cachaça is clear and without impurities.

2) Shake the bottle. The froth and bubbles should disappear in less than 30 seconds.

3) (This one is tricky unless you can try it before you buy) When poured slowly down the sides of a glass, it should appear like a fine oil.

4) Check the aroma of the cachaça in a glass or on the palm of your hand. If it does not smell like sugar cane, it probably is not a good cachaça.

5) Request to taste the cachaça before you buy it. If you sense a burning sensation in your mouth or on the back of your throat, it is of poor quality.

In anticipation of the cachaça craze, I have put together a comprehensive list of locations where Brazilian fare could be coupled with a caipirinha or batida (common Brazilian drinks made with cachaça) for your tasting pleasure. Although I would have enjoyed sampling each restaurant myself to recommend the best, this listing of locations came highly recommended by Brazilian consulate officials, Brazilian social/community organizations and colleagues throughout the United States. If you discover a restaurant that is not on the list that you would like to recommend, send me a review.

Enjoy! Bom Apetite!
