I had a handful of leftover blueberries and this Blueberry Caipirinha recipe caught my eye. It looked like a bit of a hassle though, and my bar area was a chilly 12 degrees—so I took a few shortcuts, and it tasted delicious. Here’s what I did: muddle 10 blueberries in a cobbler tin, add 60 ml of cachaça, 15 ml of lime super juice, and 15 ml of rich sugar syrup. Give it a 10-second shake with ice, then fine-strain into a footed rocks glass.
