History

Pinga com Mel is a popular drink in Brasil in work-a-day bars, especially on cold days. It's also drunk to help alleviate flu and some even add garlic. The Pinga com Mel is considered one of the possible origins of the Caipirinha and so popular is the drink that in Brasil there are also some bottled versions and Busca Vida (17% alc./vol.) is popular in nightclubs.

Review

Cachaça-laced, bite-sized, and delicious with rich smoothing honey balancing sharp zesty lime.

Being simpler to prepare than a Caipirinha, we sometimes serve these for parties. A doubling of the volume of all ingredients will sit snugly in a Coupe glass and not be particularly intimidating as to alcohol content. And we add a splash of pink grapefruit juice to make it party pink. If you want to go total party deep pink, consider splitting the syrup 2:1 honey and Grenadine and floating a mint leaf as the garnish...always a crowd pleaser.

We call it Pinga com Mel Vermelha.

Better than caipirinhas, honestly.

Made it a double and served it in a coupe. Excellent!
