Cocktail Recipe: Strawberry Basil Caipirinha

I must've missed the memo but, evidently, basil is the new thing to be making caipirinhas with. (Just don't tell the caipirinha police, I guess.) 

This time, the American Feast blog discovers New York's Jumeirah Essex House (154 Central Park South near 7th) and their variation on the Brazilian classic, the Strawberry fields basil caipirinha.

Shake ingredients with ice and pour into a rocks glass. Garnish with strawberry or lime.

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!
