A new favorite-Brazilian firewater

[alicia-w]

I was in Baltimore for a wedding last weekend and my uncle pulled out a bottle of this stuff he called Brazilian firewater.It's sugar cane brandy.
He made the most wonderful concoction with it and now I'm hooked. Has anyone else had this? I dont really drink but I LOVE this stuff!

The Bolero Lounge on RC's Enchantment of the Seas cruise we just returned from offered this drink on the specialty list, but I didn't one -- it looks like I should have!

How is the name of this drink pronounced?
