Cocktail Recipe: The Barbary Flip

I love it here in Chicago, but this recipe here looks like yet another reason to sorely miss the Bay Area (even though I was always more of an East Bay kid than the San Francisco type).

This recipe is the official cocktail of the third annual San Francisco Cocktail Week, created by Duggan McDonnell. Duggan is one of the event's organizers and helms the Esquire lauded Cantina on Sutter Street.

Tip o' the hat to SFist.com:

The Barbary Flip

1 ounce Sagatiba Velha Cachaça
3/4 ounce Skyy Infusions Pineapple vodka
1/2 ounce Benedictine
1 ounce fresh lime juice
1 fresh egg white
Driscoll Farms strawberry slice and Angostura bitters, for garnish.

Combine cachaça, vodka, Benedictine, lime juice, and egg white in an ice-filled shaker and shake for 20 to 30 seconds, or until well chilled. Strain through a fine strainer into a chilled Champagne coupe glass, and garnish with a thinly sliced Driscoll Farms strawberry that has been doused with Angostura bitters.

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.
