What is this drink? |
Travel Info A brazilian friend gave me this drink from Brazil -- Orgulho Mineiro. She said it was the most popular drink in Brazil. I am wondering how strong it is? Travel Tips It's 80 proof, that's how strong it is. Orgulho Mineiro is a cacha莽a, Brazil's rum (distilled from fermented sugarcane, not molasses, so it isn't really rum). Cacha莽a (kah-SHAH-sah) is to Brazil what whisky is to Scotland. The brand name means "Minas's pride," Minas Gerais being a state in the southeast where many brands of cacha莽a are produced. 80 proof is on the easygoing side. They have another drink down there called coffee, which is very poular also. As for the Orgulho Mineiro brand ... I dunno, dude, it sounds like "Milwaukee's Best" to me. Anyway -- chin, chin!
