Las Iguanas

Drink

 

Our friend João Luiz is a master cachaça maker from a small town near Rio de Janeiro. The town is called Miguel Pereira and it’s here that João Luiz looks after our field of sugar cane. After harvesting, the cane is squeezed and the juice is distilled to make our own-label artisan cachaça. The only added ingredient is natural spring water from the plantation. Cachaca is the third most consumed spirit in the world by volume and the National spirit of Brazil. We use ours to make the best Caipirinhas this side of the Atlantic.

Fancy trying it at home? You can buy our cachaça here.

This is a sample menu. Use the drop-down to view your local Las Iguanas' drinks menu.

Brazil

Big, beautiful, bacana. And the birthplace of the infamous Caipirinha. We’re the only restaurant to produce cachaça from our own sugar cane plantation near Rio. João Luiz, our master cachaça maker, oversees the process from harvesting the cane & fermenting the juices, to bottling the cachaça.
