Dialogue

A: Oi Carla, você sabe tudo de cachaça, não é?
B: Mais ou menos, por quê?
A: Como você sabe se ela é uma de boa qualidade ou não?
B: Bom, primeiro, ver se ela é cristalina, e se não tem resíduo no fundo da garrafa.
A: E o cheiro, como deve ser?
B: Sabe, não deve ser muito forte, não dever arder ou fazer a gente lacrimejar. E pessoalmente, eu gosto mais de um aroma levemente doce e frutada.
A: Tá. Tem mais uma alguma coisa que você gosta?
B: Bom, pra mim, com a Cachaça Magnífica não tem erro, A Reserva Soleira é muito suave. Ela é cara, mas é de ótima qualidade.
A: E se eu quiser fazer uma caipirinha?
B: Nesse caso, eu gosto da Magnífica Tradicional, que já é boa e não é tão cara. E sabe, eu prefiro a caipirinha com maracujá, mas a grande maioria faz com limão verde.
A: Obrigado Carla. Você realmente sabe tudo sobre bebidas.
B: Bom, trabalhava antes como bartender para eventos, e assim a gente vai aprendendo rápido, né?


A: Hi Carla, you know everything about cachaça, right?
B: More or less, why?
A: How do you know if it’s of a good quality of not?
B: Well, first to see if it’s crystal clear, and that it doesn’t leave a residue on the bottom of the bottle.
A: And the smell, what should it be like?
B: Well, it shouldn’t be very strong, it shouldn’t burn or cause your eyes to water. I personally like more the smell that is lightly sweet and fruity.
A: OK. Anything else that you particularly like?
B: Well, for me, you can’t go wrong with Cachaça Magnífica. And the Reserva Soleira is very smooth. It is expensive, but it really high in quality.
A: And if I want to make a caipirinha?
B: In that case I like the Magnífica Tradicional, it’s good and not too expensive. And you know, I prefer caipirinha with passion fruit, but most people make it with limes.
A: Thanks Carla, you really know a lot about drinks.
B: Well, I used to work as a bartender for events, and that way you learn quickly, right?
