What is Novo Fogo Chameleon Cachaça?

Novo Fogo Chameleon Cachaça offers a unique twist on the traditional Brazilian spirit by aging it for one year in repurposed oak barrels, resulting in a smooth, golden-hued cachaça with subtle woody notes. Interestingly, the name "Chameleon" isn't just clever marketing—it reflects the spirit's ability to change color when mixed with citrus, shifting from golden to a vibrant pink due to its natural pH-sensitive compounds.

Why do we love Novo Fogo Chameleon Cachaça?

Cocktail enthusiasts should embrace Novo Fogo Chameleon Cachaça for its unique dual-wood aging process, which combines the brand's signature silver cachaça with oak-aged cachaça to create a smooth, versatile spirit. Unlike most rums, this organic Brazilian cachaça is made from fresh sugarcane juice rather than molasses, resulting in a distinctively grassy, herbaceous flavor profile that shines in both classic and contemporary cocktails.

How do you drink Novo Fogo Chameleon Cachaça?

Novo Fogo Chameleon Cachaça shines in tropical cocktails, where its grassy, fruity notes can take center stage, but it's also delightful sipped neat or with a large ice cube to open up its flavors. This versatile spirit is perfect for warm weather sipping and pairs beautifully with grilled meats, fresh seafood, and citrusy desserts, making it an ideal choice for outdoor gatherings and beachside dinners.

Novo Fogo Chameleon Cachaça is crafted from organic sugarcane grown on the distillery's own coastal rainforest estate in Brazil. After harvesting, the fresh sugarcane juice is fermented with wild yeast and then distilled in copper pot stills before being aged for one year in repurposed oak barrels, resulting in a unique spirit that balances the grassy freshness of unaged cachaça with subtle wood notes.

Novo Fogo Chameleon Cachaça is aged in repurposed oak barrels that once held bourbon, giving it a unique flavor profile that blends traditional Brazilian cachaça notes with subtle hints of American whiskey.

The "Chameleon" in its name isn't just for show - this cachaça actually changes color when mixed with tonic water, shifting from a light amber to a pinkish hue due to its natural organic compounds.

Novo Fogo's distillery in Brazil is powered entirely by renewable energy sources, including gravity-fed water from a nearby waterfall and bagasse (leftover sugarcane fibers) used as biofuel, making it one of the most environmentally sustainable spirit producers in the world.
