Ingredients
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 cups white sugar, divided
- 1 cup cachaça
- 4 ripe passionfruits
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar and lime juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely. Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
- Once the syrup is cooled, strain out any remaining lime pulp and divide the syrup into 6 glasses, approximately 1/4 cup per glass. Place these in the freezer while you prepare the rest of the cocktails.
- Peel and chop 4 ripe passionfruits to yield 1 cup of fruit. In a blender or food processor, blend passionfruit pulp with the remaining 1 cup sugar until smooth.
- Add cachaça to the blended passionfruit sugar mixture and stir gently to combine.
- Fill each glass from step 2 halfway with ice cubes. Slowly pour the passionfruit cachaça mixture into each glass, filling them about three quarters full. Top off each glass with the chilled lime syrup.
- To finish, garnish each cocktail with a fresh mint leaf and serve immediately. Enjoy your otherworldly journey to Brazil's celestial realms!
