Ingredients

3 barspoon Superfine/Caster/Baker's special sugar (white)
10 fresh Blueberries (fresh)
2 fl oz Cachaça (unaged) (from freezer)

How to make

Glassware

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

Prepare

  1. Select and pre-chill a HIGHBALL (MAX 10OZ/300ML) GLASS.
  2. Prepare garnish of stirrer (spoon, wooden lolly stick or stick cut from sugar cane).

Method

  1. 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.
  2. Add 3 bar spoons caster sugar (or ½oz / 15ml sugar syrup 2:1) and MUDDLE.
  3. Add blueberries and MUDDLE some more.
  4. When sure fruit juice is fully extracted and the sugar dissolved, transfer the muddled fruit and sugar into serving glass (preferably a 30cl / 10oz highball glass).
  5. POUR cachaça (stored in the freezer) into the rocks glass (used to muddle) and swirl to rinse glass before pouring cachaça into serving glass. STIR to combine all ingredients.
  6. Fill glass with ice. (If using large ice cubes, crack (rather than crush) four to five large ice cubes using an ICE TAPPER and drop into serving glass.)
  7. STIR before topping with more ice and serve with a stirrer (but no straws).
  8. STIR before topping with more ice.

Garnish

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.
