We had never heard of this drink before, but apparently it is the mojito of Brazil. In honor of the past Olympics, we decided to make a pumpkin version and spice it up a bit. Yes, you can nd Cachaca (distilled spirit from Brazil), but use a rum of your choice if you don’t want to buy a big bottle of it.
INGREDIENTS:
– 1/2 lime, cut into 4 pieces
– 4 ounces brown sugar simple syrup
– 3 ounces Cachaca rum
– 1/4 tsp. pumpkin spice
– Ice
DIRECTIONS:
1. Make your own brown sugar simple syrup. Dissolve half a cup of brown sugar in half a cup of water in a saucepan, bring to a slow boil, let cool, then store in the refrigerator.
2. Muddle the lime, simple syrup, pumpkin an spice in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Add for ice cubes and let sit for 15 minutes. Add Cachaca and shake until thoroughly mixed and chilled. Strain into a glass filled with ice, and garnish with a lime wheel. We found that the longer we let it sit on ice, the better it tasted.
