Boca Loca Cachaça’s new fall cocktails feature this year’s cocktail trends: local herbs and produce. Ingredients include cinnamon, apple butter, sage leaves and apple slices. These herbs and late harvest fruits add sweetness and color to show off the season’s bounty.
“These cocktails can spice up entertaining at home – they are full of flavor and simple for anyone to make,” says Rhonda Follrath, COO of Boca Loca Cachaça Company. “The ingredients compliment the unique flavors of Boca Loca Cachaça for easy, delicious cocktails well-suited for any fall occasion.”
Boca Loca is an authentic award-winning premium Brazilian cachaça. Boca Loca is a smooth, full-bodied, fragrant spirit distilled from the fresh-pressed juice of sugar cane. Many argue that cachaça is the most versatile liquor in the world and easily replaces vodka, rum or tequila in any cocktail. The Boca Loca brand is a mixologist’s favorite, and the company often works with well-known mixologists to create cocktails that showcase the versatility of both Boca Loca and cachaça.
Boca Loca Cachaça’s fresh and seasonal fall cocktails have been created by trend-setting mixologists from around the country: Anika Zappe from Root Down restaurant in Denver, Colorado, Sean Kenyon from Steuben’s in Denver, Colorado and Jeffrey Morgenthaler from Clyde Common in Portland, Oregon. These popular mixologists bring unique flavor combinations and ingredients to these original fall cocktails.
