Serves:

Ingredients
12 fresh Lime (fresh) (chopped)
3 barspoon Superfine/Caster/Baker's special sugar (white)
12 fresh Kiwi fruit (fresh)
1/6 fl oz Aniseed (anise) liqueur
1/2 fl oz Apple juice/apple cider (cloudy & unsweetened)
2 fl oz Cachaça (unaged) (from freezer)

Garnish: Stirrer (spoon, wooden lolly stick or stick cut from sugar cane)

How to make

Glassware

Serve in a Highball (max 10oz/300ml)

Method:

<strong>1.</strong> Cut lime in half (from pole to pole) and then slice one of the halves into eight 3-4mm thick half-moon shaped segments and drop into the base of a robust rocks glass.

<strong>2.</strong> Add 3 bar spoons caster sugar (or ½oz / 15ml sugar syrup 2:1) and MUDDLE.

<strong>3.</strong> Add Kiwi fruit and MUDDLE some more.

<strong>4.</strong> When sure fruit juice is fully extracted and the sugar dissolved, transfer the muddled fruit and sugar into serving glass (preferably a 30cl / 10oz hi-ball glass).

<strong>5.</strong> POUR cachaça (stored in the freezer) into the rocks glass (used to muddle) and swirl to rinse glass before pouring cachaça into serving glass. Add apple juice and anis liqueur, then STIR to ensure all ingredients are well mixed.

<strong>6.</strong> Crack (rather than crush) four to five large ice cubes and drop into serving glass. STIR before topping with more ice and serve with a stirrer (but no straws).

Wow, what a cocktail! I am not normally the biggest fan of kiwi or anise, but this was impressively delicious. Everything comes through in such a balanced fashion, from the Cachaca to the apple. I did just mix 2:1 sugar syrup to absinthe (La Fee Parisienne is way too anise forward anyway IMHO) to approximate a pastis/anise liqueur.
