Kumquat Caipirinha Recipe
From:
Angèle Restaurant
The restaurant Angèle in Napa Valley is where locals go for satisfying French fare, but its creative cocktails, including this Kumquat Caipirinha, are not to be missed.
INGREDIENTS
- 5 kumquats
- 4 sugar cubes
- 4 ounces cachaça
- 1 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 1 medium lime)
- 1 cup ice
INSTRUCTIONS
- Combine kumquats and sugar cubes in a cocktail shaker and muddle until kumquats are broken up and sugar is beginning to dissolve.
- Add cachaça, lime juice, and ice, and shake to combine. Pour into an Old Fashioned glass and serve.
I first saw this drink at the old Enircos in North Beach back when David Nepove (love you, mean it) ran the show with a gold muddle stick.
