A culturally confused cocktail, to say the least, this drink combines elements of Sangría and the Caipirinha, then adds a twist. It’s one of the most popular drinks at Cantina in San Francisco.
What to buy: Cachaça, a sugarcane-derived spirit with a 500-year history, can be found at most well-stocked liquor stores.
Use a well-balanced, affordable Cabernet Sauvignon that will not overwhelm the other flavors in this cocktail.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup blackberries
- 2 medium limes, quartered
- 6 ounces cachaça

- 1 1/2 ounces freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 3 medium limes)

- 4 ounces simple syrup
- 2 ounces cranberry juice
- Ice

INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine the blackberries and quartered limes in a large pitcher and muddle until well crushed.
