What is the bartender tip for a Guaraná & Açaí Caipirinha?
The blackberry syrup stands in for the sugar, and in a smaller pour: 15 ml, because the liqueur is already sweet. One whole lime, in wedges, peel-side down — muddle just until they burst, without crushing the pith. The unaged cachaça (40 ml) holds the proof; the 30 ml of Quero Chuva Açaí com Guaraná bring açaí and guaraná. No soda. The Pororoca shakes lime juice, cachaça, and the same liqueur, with no syrup, and strains. Here the lime stays in the glass.
