International Cachaça Day
Tuesday June 12, 2007
Today, June 12th is International Cachaça Day! So grab a bottle of Brazil's specialty rum, some limes and sugar and have a Caipirinha kind of day (after work of course). This celebration falls on this particular day because of the 1744 ban by Portugal that prohibited the production and distribution of cachaça. Enjoy the day! Salud!

For the record, Brazil speaks Portuguese, not Spanish. The word is saúde (sah-oo-jeh), not salud.
