Preparation

Step 1

Muddle the fruit and sugar in a cocktail glass. Add the cachaca and stir. Pour the mixture into a lowball glass and add a lot of ice. Mix and serve.

Not a big lover of Rum, has been a bit drunk it many years ago in New York and had to get up a ladder hanging outside an 11 deck high container ship. But if I can drink Mojitos I’m sure I can drink this. Love the look and the read of it.

We used to try and make Caipirinhas and even used the same brand of cachaca in your photo. For some reason we couldn’t get the sugar to alcohol to lime ratio correct to make it taste good. We’ll have to give it another go and try this recipe!

Thanks for reading. The Leblon is a well-rated but very divisive version of cachaca. It is mustier and grassier than most (other brands vary quite a bit). Playing with raw or demerara sugar or persian vs. key limes will make a difference- if that helps.

I might have to try that. ‘Gartending’ (can’t say I like the word, but I love the concept) is a marvellous combination of hobbies, and you guys are placed beautifully to do so.
