Cacha\u00e7a is a Brazilian distilled spirit made from the fermented juice of sugarcane. It has a flavor reminiscent of rum \u2015 rum is also made from sugarcane \u2015 but it is more vegetal and robust because it\u2019s made from raw sugarcane (and not a byproduct, such as molasses, like rum is). Its production dates back to the 1500s when the Portuguese arrived in Brazil. Rum was distilled a couple hundred years later in other parts of the Americas. Just like with any spirit, its flavor can vary greatly depending on the quality of production.
