Cachaça & Coffee

Cachaça & Coffee

Espresso Martinis are popular. We're not mad about it.

  • 1.5 oz Novo Fogo Barrel-Aged Cachaça
  • 1 oz espresso or strong coffee
  • 0.75 oz banana syrup (simmer a sliced banana in simple syrup of 1 part sugar dissolved in 1 part hot water for 30 minutes and strain)
  • 2 dashes aromatic bitters

Shake all ingredients and strain into a cocktail glass.

Novo Fogo Barrel Aged Cachaça bottle

Barrel-Aged Cachaça

We age our organic cachaça distillate in 53-gallon American oak bourbon barrels that have been taken apart, sanded, and re-toasted. The 2-3 year process takes place in the heat and humidity of our home in the Atlantic Rainforest. The result? Banana bread, with notes of chocolate, cinnamon bark, and coffee. Nuances of pepper remain, but the cachaça’s time spent in wood changes its spiciness from fresh red pepper to toasty black pepper.
