What can I use instead of cachaça?
Cachaça is a Brazilian cane spirit. Without it, the drink is no longer the same recipe. An unaged rhum agricole is the closest stand-in; white rum is a last resort and will taste different.
What is the bartender tip for a Eu Quero Mais?
The base is cachaça, lime, and the same volume of sweetener, shaken with two cubes; the tall glass gets fresh ice and the coconut water. Cafuné (39%) is the cachaça in the video; another unaged cachaça covers it. 1:1 syrup; if using sugar, two teaspoons. Coconut water, not coconut milk or cream — the glass stays thin and a little salty. If the water is already sweet, drop the syrup by 5 ml. It is not the Balla de Caramelo (sweet whiskey, no lime), the Coconut Caipirinha (coconut liqueur, no coconut water), or the Cabra Coco (coffee).
