What are you Drinking?

[CountDeMoney]

All the syrup from the can of my fruit cocktail.  All of it.  Yummay.

[mongers]

I had a shot or two of cachaca by itself.  Nothing to write home about.

A caipirinha... with all that lime juice it is NOT a sweet drink, even with the cachaca and the sugar.  They're not bad honestly.

I wonder if you can buy cachaca in Alberta.  I have a notion to invite some people over, make a moqueca (Bahian fish stew) and serve caipirinhas...

Rather coincidentally, I've been drinking lime cordial today, first time in donkey years, sure is an astringent taste.

The cachaca bottle says it's rum. It tastes nothing like any rum I've ever had. It's more like gin.

I think cachaca is more like tequila.  It's only like rum in the sense that it's also made from sugar cane, but it's usually rough stuff.

Google says that rum is made from molasses, whereas cachaca is made from fresh sugarcane juice.

Rum can be made from molasses, but it can also be made from sugarcane juice.

By US law it has to be sold as rum

Which is subsequently turned into slaves.

My google-fu says that the US signed an agreement with Brazil last year to recognzie the term "cachaca" (and that Brazil would recognize bourbon and Tennessee whiskey).

I'm on my third cup of coffee.

I'm on my third cup of coffee.

Fail.

I went to the K-cup brewer to manage my coffee intake more responsibly, since the cardiologist said I was killing myself one pot at a time.

So now I just use two K-cups at once per serving.  THATLL SHOW HIM

Caipirinhas can be good, but in general mojito >>>>>>>>>> caipirinha.

No way.  If both are properly made caipirinha is much better.

Has it taken effect yet, smart guy?

Emergen-C. Tangerine flavor.

Coke Zero right now.

But earlier I had a Summer Wheat, Porter, IPA, Nut Brown Ale, and Stout.  Spread it out over 4 hours so I'm sober.
