Cocktail Recipe: Leblon Punch Caipirinha

Similar to Webtender's featured cocktail earlier in the week, Intoxicologist picked up on a number of Leblon's autumn recipes.

What struck me in particular was this punch recipe, which strikes me as an interesting (not to mention potent) alternative to hot mulled wine.

Leblon Punch Caipirinha

1-750ml Bottle of Leblon Cachaça
1/2 Bottle Brandy
1/4 Bottle Cointreau
1/4 Bottle Amaretto
3 Bottles Medium Body Red Wine
1 large Bottle of Soda Water
1/2 cup of Fine White Sugar
3 Oranges-sliced
20 Cherries – pitted
3 Apples – chopped
10 Cinnamon sticks
8 Cloves
10 Star Anise

Combine all ingredients except the soda water into a punch bowl. Let stand for two hours. Just before serving add soda water. Serve over ice in a wine glass.

Also... Here's a cachaça-based punch recipe that uses Gewurztraminer.

Thank you so much for linking my site. Leblon has some fantastic mixology people. They've told me there are more holiday recipes in the works. You have a highly informative place here. Great review of Leblon earlier by the way. Your VeeV / Cachaca mix looks very intriguing as well.

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!

Quite possibly the best English-language blog about cachaça, the national distilled spirit of Brazil.
