Blackberry Caipirinha

This blackberry caipirinha has a bold hue and complex fruity flavor for a cocktail that’s sure to brighten your happy hour. In the drink’s native land of Brazil, infused caipirinhas traditionally involve a generous dose of passion fruit, pineapple, strawberry, or another easy-to-muddle local seasonal fruit that pairs with freshly squeezed lime juice and cachaça. Any ripe berries you run into at the farmers market will work especially well—their juice-to-pulp ratio is ideal for this application.

Ingredients:

  • 8 blackberries
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 lime, cut into 3 wedges
  • 2 ounces cachaça
  • 3/4 cup ice cubes

Directions:

  1. In a shaker or pint glass, thoroughly muddle the blackberries and sugar with two of the lime wedges.
  2. Add the cachaça and ice, then cover tightly and shake vigorously for at least 10 seconds to dissolve the remaining sugar.
  3. Remove and discard the crushed lime wedges. Pour the cocktail into a rocks glass (rimmed with sugar, if you like), and garnish with the remaining lime wedge.
