A Black Cow is another name for a root beer float.

Cachaça (say ka- sha- sa)  is a distilled spirit made from sugarcane juice. It is also known as aguardente and pinga. In the past decade it is gained popularity for its use in cocktails such as caipirinha - the national cocktail of Brasil. The timing of  International Cachaça Day couldn't be more auspicious as Women's World Cup is underway.
