This recipe is courtesy of Mason Bar in the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel. Their mixologists have created a Caipirinha-inspired cocktail to sip while watching the global games from August 5-21. “In the spirit of competition and with all eyes on Brazil, Loews Hotels is celebrating the Rio games with a twist on the host country’s Caipirinha that reflect the distinctiveness of our destinations,” The “Framboesa Caipirinha” combines the tropical flavors of Brazil with fresh Tennessee raspberries. “Framboesa” is Portuguese for “raspberry.” You can find cachaca at most liquor stores around town.
1. One night before serving the cocktail, combine the fresh raspberries and water inside ice cube trays, then freeze. The next day muddle lime and raw sugar into an Old Fashioned glass. Build cocktail by adding the muddled lime/sugar mixture with Cachaca and Raspberry Ice Sphere. Top with Proscecco or light Sparkling Wine and garnish with fresh raspberry skewer.
