Notes
Substitutes:
- Cachaça: If you don't have cachaça, you can use white rum as a substitute. It won't have the same earthy flavor but works well in a pinch. I've also tried using vodka for a cleaner taste.
- Soda Water: You can use sparkling water or club soda if you don't have soda water. They both provide the same fizzy effect.
Making it Non-Alcoholic:
- Cachaça Substitute: Use a non-alcoholic spirit that mimics cachaça's flavor profile. These are available and do a reasonable job.
- Proceed As Usual: Use this non-alcoholic substitute instead of regular cachaça, follow the original steps, and enjoy a non-alcoholic version.
