They have an App that has all the kosher products. From the kosher ones i think the best one is Sagatiba brand, and stay far far away from 51 brand...
Anything kosher available in the US?

Clubhouse used to make theirs with Rum and it was just as good as the best I had in Brazil.

The three kosher brands are 51 (don't get!), Sagatiba and Pitu, if you can find any of those should be good.

Cachaca and rum are virtually the same thing. Get a good white rum and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Think he wrote it in the post. To fly to Mexico with a stop over in São Paulo lowers the miles rate.

I realized - but how do you convince them that brazil is on the way to mexico?

ETA: I mean, I'm assuming they have a map/look at maps all day in that line of work?

Many US reps are not geographically inclined.
