A New Drink...To Keep Boberto Happy

Bill_Tex_Landreth · March 16, 2009, 11:16pm

2 parts Cachaca
1 part simple syrup made with evaporated cane juice
4 parts freshly squeezed Texas Ruby Red Grapefruits (I got a 15 lb bag from Costco)

Pretty freaking tasty I must say.

Who’s Boberto? You must mean Michael. [whistle2.gif]

Or Mike, Mickey, Mack…

Sounds great. For a variation, try using Sugar in the Raw and muddling the juice in it before adding the Cachaça. That will give you a bit more rustic flavors and textures, more like a traditional Caipirinha.

Actually Tex, the drinks sounds delish. I love ruby red grapefruit. You should name it. How about the Pink Brasilian? That’ll give Sex On The Beach a run for its money.

Roberto–I thought about that, but have Turbinado at the house. Also a muddling with mint might be good.

Melissa–The Pink Brasilian it is.

Aww, Josh, I’ve used the FSM many times before. His Holiness is part of my regular rotation of Natasha, Elle Woods, Botticelli’s venus, and strawberries.

Maybe we could work out a schedule…
