Cachaça cocktail for the fourth of July? Why not?


In honor of Brazil playing Columbia on the 4th, I decided to make something Brazil themed to go along with the game.  What could be more Brazilian than something with Cachaça ... given that we were having people over and I didn't want to be making drinks all night, we went with something that was a punch.

Shells found some Cachaça cocktail recipes online, so we decided to try one out.

Cachaça Cocktail with Summer Berries
1 bottle Cachaça
1 bottle St. Germaine (elderflower liqueur)
Sour Mix
Strawberries
Blueberries
Cherries
Grapes
Blackberries

Muddle fruit in a pitcher (I used about 1/3 of each container, but you can do more or less to your liking).  Add Cachaça and St. Germaine, stir well and top with a splash of sour.  I added a couple of big ice cubes to chill down the mixture in the pitcher a bit without watering it down too much.

Using toothpicks make skewers of fruit that people can use to garnish their glass.  Enjoy!
