What is Boca Loca Cachaça (pronounced ka-SHAH-sa)?

Boca Loca is the HOT, NEW Premium Cachaça from Brazil!

Smooth, full bodied and fragrant with subtle floral notes mingled with melon, honey and a distinctively sweet pure sugar cane finish, Boca Loca has all the qualities expected in a premium spirit. While Rum is made from molasses, cachaça is made from the pure unrefined juice of sugar cane. Left to ferment in vats made of wood, or often copper, it is then boiled down three times to get a sticky concentrate and distilled in such a way that the scent of sugar cane is kept. From the hand harvesting of the sugar cane at its peak of sweetness through to single batch fermentation and hand-bottling, Boca Loca has the depth of quality, character and unique flavor savvy palates are looking for.

The most popular cocktail made with Cachaça is the Caipirinha, (pronounced kie-purr-REEN-yah) the national cocktail of Brazil. The basic Caipirinha consists of a muddled lime cut in quarters and mixed with fine sugar, ice and Boca Loca Cachaça. See the complete recipe for this and other great drinks on our recipe page.

Boca Loca is the first "branded" Cachaça created and bottled specifically with the US Market in mind. Read on to find out how to tell a good Cachaça from a bad one.

Of course the quality of Cachaça will depend on the brand. To judge the quality of your favorite Cachaça use the following tests, just as a Brasilian Cachaça connoisseur would:

1. Hold the bottle up to the light. Quality Cachaça is clear and without impurities.

2. Shake the bottle. The froth and bubbles should disappear in less than 30 seconds.

3. (This one is tricky unless you can try it before you buy) When poured slowly down the sides of a glass, it should appear like fine oil.

4. Check the aroma of the Cachaça in a glass or on the palm of your hand. If it does not smell like sugar cane, it probably is not a good Cachaça.

5. Request to taste the Cachaça before you buy it. If you sense a burning sensation in your mouth or on the back of your throat, it is of poor quality.
