03History

Brazilian bar culture canonised it in the 1950s — the shift drink for bartenders who wanted bitter without Campari. IBA added it in the 2011 revision as Brazil's second entry after the Caipirinha.

Stir it long: cachaca needs the water.

Origin contested — the entry keeps verified record and received legend distinct.
