What can I use instead of cachaça?
Cachaça is a Brazilian cane spirit. Without it, the drink is no longer the same recipe. An unaged rhum agricole is the closest stand-in; white rum is a last resort and will taste different.
What is the bartender tip for a Pororoca?
The liqueur (around 20% ABV) is already the fruit and the sweetness: no syrup. The unaged cachaça bumps the proof. The 20 ml of lime cuts the richness without turning it into sour juice; if the liqueur is very sweet, add 5 ml. Quero Chuva Açaí com Guaraná is the product — it isn't guaraná soda or two separate bottles. Double strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice: the shake has already diluted it. The Pé de Serra lengthens cachaça with passion fruit and guaraná soda; here the açaí goes into a short sour.
