Cachação

Yesterday I bought thirty-six bottles of Sagatiba cachaça, thus bringing my current export potential to forty-five bottles. Some would call it a lifetime supply. Others would call it a darn good party. Either way, I'm not looking forward to paying the duty on all forty-five bottles in one shot (unfortunately exemption from import duties is not one of the job's perks!).

That does sound like a party.....now you'll just need to see how long it lasts and determine whether people are "Cachaca worthy"

Thanks for the Text Message my Mom loved it!!!!

Michael, you are totally right. Some people are just not cachaça worthy - a secret evaluation must always be conducted prior to sharing the stash!

Hey! I forgot to tell you that I can buy Pitu at the liquor store that is directly across the street from my house! It is a whopping $27.99 US. (Actually I'm thinking/hoping that it is a reserve bottle or something...) Surprisingly, there were actually 3 cachaca brands sitting on the shelf, a little dusty but still able to stir up memories of our trip! I settled on the budget options for $18, 51 of course! And introduced some friends to the drink... they found it a little different... (ie didn't like it till we severely upped the sugar content and added crushed fresh raspberries - the latter is highly recommended!)
