Starting a new topic because I have a feeling I'll keep coming back to read this in the next few days!
I first learnt about the Cachacas (Ka-Sha-Sah) and Caipirinha (Kie-Pur-Reen-Yah) when watching Anthony Bourdain explore Sao Paolo, Brazil in No Reservations.
Cachacas (Ka-Sha-Sah) and Caipirinha (Kie-Pur-Reen-Yah)
Wondering, how many of you have tried them?

I think it should be relatively easy to find them here somehow. There are Brazilians living here. I just need to find out where they hang out and voila!

You hardly taste it, as the flavour of the lime and the sugar is also very strong.
Really? If so, I think I might just like it!
I strongly dislike alcoholic drinks that are too alcoholic.
I don't like stuff that reeks of lighter
fluid, stuff like the Manhattan, which stinks to high heavens and
smells like airplane diesel!

Ice wines... are they 'light'?
I like fruity tastes, or interesting yet light tastes like OSH.
And I don't like getting tipsy nor wasted on alcohol.

Those two wines are dessert wines, which means that they're sweet and that's why I like them.
I like a few sips of Scotch now, whereas in the past I disliked all distilled drinks. I still don't like the taste of vodka - it's like nail varnish.

Eeee! I don't think I'd like to drink nail varnish!
I'm glad we're on the same page when it comes to drinks.
At least, we're rational in our choices and we
don't go for hard liquour just to bow down to peer pressure and to
look 'kewl'.
