Cachaça
Cachaça is a liquor made from fermented sugarcane juice. It is the most popular distilled alcoholic beverage in Brazil. It is also known as aguardente, pinga, caninha and by many other names. Cachaça is mostly produced in Brazil, where, according to 2007 figures, 1.5 billion litres are consumed annually, compared with 15 million litres outside the country. It is typically between 38% and 48% alcohol by volume. When it is homemade it can be as strong as the distiller wants. Up to six grams per litre of sugar may be added." The major difference between cachaça and rum is that rum is usually made from molasses, a by-product from refineries that boil the cane juice to extract as much sugar crystal as possible, while cachaça is made from fresh sugarcane juice that is fermented and distilled. As some rums are also made by this process, cachaça is also known as Brazilian rum. However, the United States recognized cachaça as a distinctive Brazilian product by signing an agreement with Brazil in which Ron Kirk and Brazil's Fernando Pimentel were involved, which is likely to drop the usage of the expression "Brazilian rum".
