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.
