cane juice

anyone ever had cane juice before?
i live 3/4 of a mile back on a quite rough dirt road. instead of taking a taxi or riding on a motorcycle, i have made it a habit to walk the distance and make friends on the way. being that i stand out, making friends and meeting people is extrodinarily easy -- and fun.
today as i was making my way back by the merchants of every sort, i saw five middle-aged men sitting in what could loosely be called a cafe. they all had little plastic shot glasses, limes and a bottle of something on table.
of course, i stopped and inquired.
ah, this is cane juice. it is a whiskey type drink distilled from sugar cane. as i watched them pound the drink, i was invited to join in. tis powerful stuff. worthy of a shot.
