History

Cachaça-laced, bite-sized, and delicious with rich honey balancing sharp lime.

Pinga com Mel is a popular drink in Brasil, especially in work-a-day bars on cold days. It is also consumed to help alleviate flu, with some people even adding garlic. Pinga com Mel is considered one of the possible origins of the Caipirinha. The drink is so popular that there are bottled versions available in Brasil, and Busca Vida (17% alc./vol.) is popular in nightclubs.
