Dival Ramiro from oil-rich city of Campos dos Goitacazes, a few hours north of Rio de Janeiro Brazil. Today, the 40-year-old New York resident owns one of the world's most exclusive cachaça bars, right in the middle of Manhattan's Tribeca neighborhood. "Sugar cane has played a huge role in my life," Ramiro explains. " Today, Boteco specializes in Brazil's national spirit, cachaça, which is made from Brazilian sugarcane." Boteco is frequented by a who's who of New York scene makers and international glitterati, many of whom can be found smiling on a wall collage of celebrities, politicians, financiers, models, and other jetsetters who regularly drop by for Boteco's signature sugar-cane derived drink, the caipirinha. The cinema-worthy story of Ramiro' rise from Campos, Rio to Tribeca,NY is long and quirky, with a 14-year detour in Milan, Paris, Switzerland and Germany. Cachaçaria Boteco flaunts dozens of top tier cachaças, ranging from organic boutique brands to 40-year-old sipping cachaças, while Boteco's expert barkeeps specialize in preparing caipirinhas. It's no surprise Boteco quickly garnered a stellar reputation as the top cachaça and caipirinha bar in New York. Throughout, the entrepreneurial Ramiro has maintained strong ties to his native land, which he visits several times a year: "Brasil will always be my home, so I put a lot of my country into everything that I do, no matter how far away I find myself." Up next for Ramiro: the recently launched, roaming Cachaçaria Boteco pop-up that's making temporary appearances at Fashion Weeks, Music Festivals, and other notable events around the Globe.
