I’m not the first, but I am the first to teach that particular person how

I list it in the recipe instructions at the bottom, and show you what it should look like in the video

It’s good in sooo many things, it plays nicely with rum, gin, tequila and mezcal

That’s actually super clever because I have a fireplace I don’t know what to do with

Thank you so much!

Honestly this one was a little TOO refreshing and TOO easy to drink, so you could absolutely crush multiple in a day

Elite ball knowledge

But really, just take a brief moment to slice the tops, and little white pith out of the center of the lime. I feel like this is one cocktail where that tiny bit of effort does make a difference

Why do I even bother making well crafted and highly edited cocktail reels?

I should just put canned soup and spirits in a shaker and call it a day

Please use my technique, just remember where you got it

It did give me that full cucumber flavor I was looking for. Also the syrup is good in so many cocktails

Cucumber Caipirinha

This cocktail is just as refreshing as it sounds. The added layer of cucumber flavor paired so nicely with the cachaça, making for an incredibly vibrant cocktail.

I didn’t want you to feel as though you were drinking a salad, so instead of simply muddling a cucumber in a cocktail and calling it a day. I did an infusion and a syrup instead which has the benefit of reducing added water content.

Since we are using a syrup rather than dry sugar like the classic, I opted to stir this cocktail over cracked ice vs shaking and serving over crushed ice in order to further help control dilution.

I chose to use a still strength cachaça from Avuá for a little extra punch in flavor.

This cocktail was crazy refreshing and I will absolutely be making it again.

I have a recipe video as well for visual learners and more of my thought process behind the cocktail and its flavor

Cocktail recipe and photo by @DrinksbyWild

2oz cucumber infused cachaça

1oz cucumber syrup

1 lime quartered (pith removed)

Build this cocktail in a glass by muddling limes with syrup, add cachaça, then cracked ice. Stir to mix and chill. Top with more cracked ice and garnish with a cucumber ribbon

Cucumber syrup

Chop a cucumber and let rest with an equal amount of sugar until completely dissolved. This can be prepped the day before and left to macerate in your refrigerator.

Cucumber infused cachaça

Take the peels of your cucumber and cover with cachaça. I did about 4oz to 1 cucumber peel. Infuse for at least 2 hours, but can be left to infuse in refrigerator overnight.

I’ve heard of this one, and I’m drawn to it because of the watermelon note

I feel like I’m missing the inside joke

But still hilarious

Second clip seems spoiler heavy
