Cachaca

The national Spirit of Brazil, Cachaça is basically distilled sugar cane juice.
If you think that sounds suspiciously like Rum, well, no. Most Rums are made with molasses, giving them a different flavor profile.

And while Brazil is fighting for geographic indication (like Champagne), this spellbindingly sweet Spirit can be found in countries throughout the Caribbean, Central and South America.
