Cocktail Recipe: Bandeira

Saw this in the Miami Herald today, emphasis mine::

Since our own Independence Day is just a blurry fragment of a memory now, why not watch sparks fly as you celebrate another country's freedom? You can do so on Sunday when Sushi Samba throws a Brazilian Independence Day celebration beginning at 8 p.m. with live music and dancing featuring famed performer Gil Santos along with dancers and Brazilian drummers. A second show is at 9:30 p.m. On the menu: specialty cocktails such as the Bandeira, a $12 mix of pinot grigio and cachaca...

Whu? Wine? Cachaça? Together?

Today, Google proved to me that it's worth every c-note of its share price. I ended up getting the Bandeira recipe from The Vegas Eye. Here you go:

  • 2 oz pinot grigio
  • 1 oz cachaça
  • 1/2 oz pineapple juice
  • 1 lime wedge
  • 1 lemon wedge
  • 1 orange slice
  • 3 kiwi slices
  • diced kiwi
  • diced pineapple
  • 1 bar spoon sugar

In a glass shaker, muddle orange, lime and lemon with sugar. Add wine, cachaca and pineapple juice. Shake with ice to chill. In wine glass, line the inside with three kiwi rings. Add ice. Strain into wine glass. Top with diced kiwi and pineapple.

About Cachaçagora

  • Hi. My name is Phil Gomes. By day, I work at a public relations firm as its senior vice president of digital integration. I'm a proud SF East Bay native who currently lives in Chicago.

    I was introduced to cachaça by my wife, a Carioca. Her mom, in turn, is the president of the Confraria de Cachaça do Copo Furado, a group that meets monthly to talk about Brazil's indigenous spirit. I participated in one of their meetings when I vacationed in Rio in July 2008.

    This started me thinking about the basic question of whether cachaça in the U.S. is today where, say, tequila was some decades ago.

    So I decided to start this blog as a means to record and share the cachaça-related items I've been seeing day-to-day. I hope to be sharing recipes, impressions, and random thoughts as the U.S. continues to catch on to the potential for this particular spirit.

    Oh... The name? "Cachaçagora" is a portmanteau of "Cachaça" and "agora", which is the Portuguese word for "now". In Greek, "agora" also means public square. I hope to meet the expectations of both.

    Saúde!
