First things first – cachaça is pronounced “ka-sha-sa”, the Brazilian Portuguese word for rum.
Technically, it is a type of rum, as it is also a spirit made from sugar cane by-products. However, you can only make cachaça in Brazil, and it is made exclusively from sugar cane juice (most rums are made from molasses instead).
