What is the bartender tip for a Maré Baixa?
Cajuína already brings the sweetness and body of clarified cashew fruit: no syrup needed. The 15 ml of lime cuts the flatness without turning it into a sour. London Dry stands up to the citrus and botanicals; a very floral gin disappears behind the cajuína. Muddle the mint just enough for aroma — shredding it makes the glass bitter. The cajuína goes in cold, over the ice; stir just to combine. Brands like São Geraldo or Lili work — cloudy cashew juice is a different product.
