Symbolized by the red Pitú on the label (some people call it the lobster), Pitú is the most recognized brand of cachaça in the world. Made from fresh cut sugar cane, it is known for superb quality, and how well it blends with fresh fruit and juice. Pitú is the spirit of the Caipirinha, the national cocktail of Brazil.
