📜 History
The sour is one of the oldest and most universal cocktail templates — spirit, citrus, and sweetener — traced to Jerry Thomas's 1862 Bartenders Guide. The Cachaça Sour brings Brazil's native spirit into this timeless format, allowing its distinctive sugarcane juice character to shine against fresh lime and a touch of egg white foam. The combination highlights what makes cachaça different from other spirits in the sour family: its grassy, slightly fermented quality creates a more complex, earthy backdrop than rum or vodka. The egg white is traditional in this style, lending texture and a clean, silky mouthfeel.
