Phillippe speaks about Leblon Cachaça and the Legalize Cachaca campaign and touches on the origin of the name Leblon. He also discusses the need for proper recognition for Cachaca as currently if a spirit is made from Sugar cane juice it is classified and designated as a Rum. But many Brazilians contest this due to the fact it is not molasses based, so can’t be labelled the same way.

Listen closely for a unique cocktail recipe that you can make yourself or get your bartender to create for you.
