📜 History

Rabo de Galo translates to "rooster's tail" in Portuguese and stands as one of Brazil's oldest traditional cocktails. The drink gained prominence in São Paulo bars during the early 20th century when European drinking customs merged with local spirits. Some cocktail historians suggest this drink may have contributed to the English word "cocktail" itself. In November 2024, the IBA officially recognized Rabo de Galo as a Contemporary Classic, bringing international attention to this Brazilian staple.
