Alcohols & Liqueurs
Substitutes for Cachaça in gelato
Cachaça is a Brazilian spirit distilled from fermented fresh sugarcane juice, bottled at 38-48% ABV. In gelato it works as a pure anti-freeze and flavor agent: its ethanol strongly depresses the freezing point (very high PAC) while contributing no sugar, fat, milk solids, or sweetening power.
