I've been drinking caipirinhas for about 10 years in the US. Ever since LEBLON came out in NYC about a year ago, I haven't been able to go back to any other brand of cachaça. I've tried it in NYC, Miami, and Philadelphia. Every bartender has his own favorite way of making a LEBLON cocktail. Try out the Pineapple & Mint Caipirinha in Alma de Cuba in Philly, the original LEBLON Caipirinha in Nikki Beach in Miami, and there are just too many places to name in NYC... - Julia Muñoz Tue, 12 Dec 2006 19:14:17 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/6943/1/#pc_5420 Leblon tastes and smells like you're drinking a handful of grass. if you're into that, go for it, but I'll pass. - Michael Smith Fri, 17 Nov 2006 11:56:24 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/6943/1/#pc_4975 I have tried the Cabana Cachaca the other day, it s quite good, but nothing like another new one I ve had many times lately: I ve had the "Leblon" cachaca, it is more tasty and you ll be more satisfied for the price to be honest. Viva Brazil! - Federico Thu, 19 Oct 2006 14:11:03 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/6943/1/#pc_4297 i\'ve tried the stuff and love it too, and who cares the cost when u see beautiful brazilian models at Bungalow and CAIN and Marquee drinking it, i mean come on dude!!! $34,99 a bottle??? i spent that on two drinks at BED last night alone! the bottom line is the stuff is sweet and smooth and way better than any of the Cachaca i had last time i was in Brazil... - richard lewis Fri, 28 Jul 2006 17:03:41 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/6943/1/#pc_4295 I\'ve tried Cabana and it\'s amazing! It\'s nothing like anything in Brazil, very smooth and versatile. Definitely worth the price, which in all honesty isn\'t that much. This isn\'t Brazil and it\'s hard to find a real premium spirit for under $30 a bottle. Pitu is around $20 at liquor stores, which is a joke. Cabana is by far the only cachaca I\'ve had that you can drink in something other than a caipirinha. Guess that\'s the result of the double distillation... - Jennifer Stevens Wed, 26 Jul 2006 23:48:29 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/6943/1/#pc_4287 Mother of Mercy..$34.99 a bottle. Are they kidding? A bottle of premium cachaca in Brasil goes for less than $10 US Dollars. Reality is, you can buy a bottle of decent Cachaca for around 5 reals. I think they need to re-evaluate their pricing. - James Hoffmann Tue, 25 Jul 2006 10:58:22 +0100
