International Cacha\u00e7a<\/strong> Day<\/strong><\/p>\n In 1635, over a quarter of a millennium ago, the Portuguese Crown, which had colonised Brazil, made the production and sale of Cacha\u00e7a \u2013 Brazil\u2019s much-loved spirit \u2013 illegal, in an effort to sell their own grape brandy called Bagaceira<\/em>.<\/p>\n Not willing to accept this atrocity from the foreign invaders, Brazilians throughout the country continued to secretly produce Cacha\u00e7a underground. Then in 1660, a group of Cacha\u00e7a producers rebelled and took over the city government, an uprising that was to be known as the Cacha\u00e7a Revolt. The rebellion paved the way for the legalisation of Cacha\u00e7a, which occurred on September 13th<\/sup>, 1661<\/strong>. Instead of it being forgotten, the special spirit became the symbol of national pride and solidarity.<\/p>\n So, what better reason do you need to get out the Abelha and raise a glass to Brazilians this week\u00a0 who will be celebrating International <\/strong>Cacha\u00e7a<\/strong> Day <\/strong>ahead of a huge contest for the country and the world.<\/p>\n Felicidades!<\/p>\n Two Abelha Organic Signature Serves:<\/strong><\/p>\n Classic Caipirinha<\/strong><\/p>\n Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n Method<\/strong><\/p>\n In a double rocks glass, combine the lime segments with the sugar and use a muddler to gently crush and squeeze out the lime juice from the limes.
