FAQ

Is a Rabo de Galo strong?
A Rabo de Galo is spirit-forward: little mixer, and the alcohol shows.
When should you serve a Rabo de Galo?
A Rabo de Galo fits an aperitif, a classic and a Brazilian table.
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 Rabo de Galo?
The Rabo de Galo is Brazil's Manhattan: spirit, sweet vermouth, and amaro. Here Cynar brings an artichoke bitterness that's earthier than Campari. Stir the full 20 seconds — dilution marries the vermouth and cachaça and opens up the Cynar. Serve over fresh ice to keep it cold without further diluting what you've already stirred.
