The Rabo de Galo cocktail – one of the best-known drinks in Brazil – is originated in the mid-1950s after a Cinzano factory opened in São Paulo so leading to rosso (sweet) Vermouth being mixed with the local Cachaça. The bittersweet herbal notes of Vermouth and Cynar blend harmoniously with the Cachaça, and there’s a lot of alcohol involved too.
