The Cachaça That Sings "Drinkee"
Cachaça is Brazil's national spirit — distilled from fresh-pressed sugarcane juice the way rhum agricole is, rather than from molasses like most rum. Novo Fogo's version comes from a distillery on the edge of the Atlantic Forest in Morretes, certified organic and forest-friendly through the Un-Endangered Forest reforestation project. For Drinkee, the distillery team spent months in the rainforest with SOFI TUKKER testing ingredient combinations until the liquid tasted the way their song "Drinkee" sounds: bright passion fruit layered over the grassy, vegetal snap of Silver Cachaça, rounded with vanilla, orange peel, and a breath of oak. The result took Gold at the TAG Awards and sips equally well neat or in a passion-fruit Caipirinha. Browse more rum and cachaça and explore the Novo Fogo collection at Del Mesa Liquor.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Bright passion fruit, lychee, and citrus zest layered with creamy vanilla and oak undertones (retailer-sourced).
Palate: Tropical fruit presence — passion fruit and lychee — with toasted coconut notes, citrus brightness, and a lush, juicy mouthfeel.
Finish: Sweet and balanced, with a lasting tropical fruit and mild oak echo.
How to Enjoy
Shake it into a Passion Fruit Caipirinha — 2 oz of Drinkee with muddled lime and sugar over ice — or pour over a big cube to let the passion fruit and vanilla open up. It also pairs with sparkling mate for a Brazilian highball.
