Brazil’s national drink, cachaça is already the third most consumed liquor in the world, and now it is much more exported because consumers in the United States have taken a liking to the caipirinha. Caipirinha is usually produced using cachaça. There are more than 40,000 cachaça producers in Brazil, but only 1 percent of that cachaça is exported.
