01 · Our story
Cat, a caipirinha, and a capybara.
When I moved to the United States from Brazil at 16, I realized how little the country knows of Brazilian culture. This was apparent at every family gathering when our American friends would come over and taste a caipirinha (or “caipi”) for the first time. A Caipirinha is a Brazilian cocktail made by muddling limes and sugar and topping it with Brazil’s national spirit, cachaça (pronounced kah‑sha‑sah). Through cachaça, my family shares a beacon of Brazilian culture to all who come through our home. I’m excited to share an important part of my culture with you through the finest cachaça Brazil has to offer.
Why the Capybara
There’s nothing more representative of my hometown, Curitiba, than the capybara. They live in the city’s main park, 5 minutes away from where I used to play after school. They lounge, sunbathe, and genuinely enjoy a relaxed life. I imagined Capi, the Capybara, discovering sugarcane and inventing cachaça. By doing so, he transforms his friends into sophisticated party animals.
We hope you join our festa. Saúde!
