brazilica

brazil's official drink is my new official drink. it's rare to find a bartender who can make it but if such an informed person exists, i urge you to order it and savor every last tart and sweet drop.


1 lime quartered
1 tablespoon of sugar
1 shot of cachaca
1/2 cup of ice cubes with water

place the lime and sugar in the bottom of a glass. using the handle of a wooden spoon, crush and mash the limes. pour the liqueur and ice. stir well.

cachaca is comparable to rum, but rum is typically distilled from molasses juice and cachaca is distiled from sugar cane juice. it's perfect for warm weather and happy hours with brazilian supermodels.
