Oh hell, cachaça in general is such a strong liquor. I remember when I was in Brasil last I went to a restaurant where they had a bottle sitting in the front with little cups just to pour yourself a shot if you wanted one, almost like where you'd find free mints and toothpicks in many other countries. It took me by surprise that they'd have such a strong liquor sitting in the front of a place to drink for free after lunch like that, but when in Brasil... Would love to try some with jambu in it. Reminds me a little bit of salmiakki koskenkorva out of Finland [1], which is salty licorice vodka, salted with ammonium chloride, not NaCl, which definitely has a bit of a weird effect on your mouth. Amazing cuisine in that country and the people are incredibly nice and friendly. Would love to return some day again.
