Ingredients[edit | edit source]
Preparation[edit | edit source]
1. Pour the cachaça and vermouth into an old fashioned glass. 2. Stir gently to mix the ingredients. 3. Garnish with a lime wedge. 4. Serve straight, without ice.
History[edit | edit source]
The Rabo-de-galo cocktail has its origins in the mid-20th century in Brazil. It was created as a way to popularize cachaça, a distilled spirit made from sugarcane juice, by mixing it with vermouth, which was more familiar to the urban population at the time. The drink quickly became a staple in Brazilian bars and is still enjoyed today.
Variations[edit | edit source]
While the classic Rabo-de-galo recipe calls for cachaça and vermouth, variations exist that include additional ingredients such as bitters or sugar syrup to adjust the sweetness and complexity of the drink.
