"Apparently, getting drunk is the only way to face Pittsburgh."
~ Dane Harley, Dear John

CASSI-TINIS

4 parts raspberry lemonade
1 ½ part Coconut Rum
splash of lime juice
1 part Grenadine

 

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add ingredients. Shake well. Pour into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a twist of lime. For a tangier mix, add a splash of lemon-lime soda, or soda water if you don’t have a sweet tooth. If you don’t have raspberry lemonade, any berry lemonade will do! 

 

 

CASSIDY'S RASPBERRY MOJITOS

10 fresh raspberries
2-3 sprigs of mint leaves
3 ounces of Mojito mix
1 ½ part Coconut Rum
3 ounces lemon-lime soda
splash of lime juice

 

Place fresh raspberries and mint leaves in a bowl. Pour in a splash of mojito mix. Crush mixture, but not smooth. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the crushed mix, then rest of ingredients. Shake well. Pour into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a mint sprigs or a rasberry. For a sweeter mix, add a teaspoon of sugar in with the mix before crushing. For non-sweetened lovers, use soda water.

 

CRISTO'S CAIPIRINHA

1 lime
2 ounces choice
fruit
2 ounces of cachaça
Sugar to taste
Ice cubes

 

 

Wash the lime and roll it on the board to loosen the juices. Cut the lime into wedges and place them in a glass. Sprinkle with the sugar and crush the pieces (pulp side up) with a pestle. Just enough to release the juice, otherwise it'll get bitter. Add the cachaça and stir to mix. Add the ice and stir again.

To make a pitcher of caipirinha multiply the amount by the number of people in your party. You can substitute cachaça if it's not available with some good vodka or rum.

Substituting with vodka and you have a caipiroshka.

Substituting with white rum and you will have a caipiríssima.

Substituting with sake and it's called the Rio Rage.

Daring? Change up the recipe for caipirinha by adding tangerine, the Brazilian fruit called lima, strawberries, kiwi, fresh passion fruit with mint, passion fruit with pitanga, etc.
