Santo Jaime’s history begins more than 40 years ago, since its creation by José Teixeira Rios, in Belo Horizonte, developing a mixture in specific proportions of cachaça, lime juice, and sugar 🍋
The recipe, and its proportions spanned generations, passed through Mr. Rios’ son, Jaime Rios and, in his honor, the product was named Santo Jaime 🍋
This artisanal production is now made by Mr. Rios Senior’s grandson, Filipe Rios, who today is a partner of the Santo Jaime Company, which has the product Santo Jaime (cachaça de Salinas, lemon juice, water, sugar, and care) and Limoncello Santo Jaime (famous Italian lemon liquor) 🍋
