Mohito's: great.
Caiprinia's: paradise in a glass!

A Mohito used to be my favourite cocktail, and then I had my first Caiprinia. OUCH! I never looked back... Actually, being a semi-professional alchoholic I mix a mean range of cocktails. You should see the state of my Drinks cupboard (yes, I need a whole cupboard just for spirits and leqeurs.)

Anyway, I had better not mix her drinks too well, I might WANT to get rid of her at least some of the time!

To my taste:

Brown or preferably course unrefined sugar (1tbspn) muddled with 4 lime wedges in a lowball glass until the sugar is dissolved then add 3 shots of Cachaca and crushed ice.

Drink with a straw. The ultimate party drink!

I make my own vanilla vodka, which rocks, I've never tried your recipe, but I bloody will now! Cherry vodka: I've tried the Finlandir, which was clear and very nice. I am looking for black cherry vodka, which is dark red and syrupy with quite a sour taste to it, a little like Chambord. Is that the stuff you are talking about?
