Brasilian Cosmopolitan

Base Spirit : Cachaca
Replacing the usual Vodka with Cachaça, this is Sagatiba's Brazilian take on the classic Cosmopolitan.
Ingredients
  • 2 Measures of Sagatiba Pura Cachaça
  • 1 Measure of Triple Sec
  • 1 Measure of Cranberry Juice
  • Juice of 1/2 Lime
  • 1 Slice of Orange Peel to Garnish
  • Ice
Equipment
  • Cocktail Shaker
  • Strainer
  • Citrus Juicer
  • Cocktail Glass (Chilled)
  • Short Drinking Straw
  • Sharp Knife
Brasilian Cosmopolitan
Chill the Cocktail Glass by filling the glass with Ice and topping up with tap water. Using the Sharp Knife, cut off a piece of Peel from a fresh Orange - it should resemble a penny in size and shape. Lastly, use the Juicer to extract the juice of half a Lime.
Half fill the Cocktail Shaker with Ice before pouring in the Sagatiba Pura Cachaça, Triple Sec, Cranberry and Lime Juices. Shake the mixture until a layer of ice forms on the outside of the shaker. Empty the iced water from the Chilled Cocktail Glass, before straining the contents of the shaker into the glass.
Carefully holding the Orange Peel between your finger, use the Lighter to heat the outside of the orange peel, for approximately five seconds. This will allow the oils in the orange peel to be released with ease. Now hold the flame over the glass and quickly pinch the peel between your fingers, which should squirt the oils through the flame and over the top of the drink.
Float the orange peel on the surface of the drink to garnish. To finish the look before serving, take the Short Drinking Straw and wet one side of it with tap water, before carefully placing it against the side of the glass. The water should make the straw stick to the glass.
