Copa Cachaca

Cachaça (ka sha sa) is the most popular distilled alcoholic beverage in Brazil. Cachaça is made from sugarcane alcohol, obtained from the fermentation of sugarcane juice which
is afterwards distilled.

Cachaça differs from rum in that it is made from sugarcane juice while rum is made from either molasses or sugarcane juice then aged in oak barrels.

Cachaça, like rum, has two varieties: un-aged (white) and aged (gold). White cachaça is usually bottled immediately after distillation and tends to be cheaper. It is often used to prepare caipirinha and all other types of beverages in which cachaça is an ingredient.
