Caipirinha Mercado

Inspired by market fruit, Seger created a new version of the Brazilian classic.

Serves 1

½ pre-washed lime, cut into eighths.
2 oz. farmers’ market fruit (sour black
cherries, strawberries, raspberries,
blackberries, or peaches)
1.5 oz. simple syrup (a touch more is
needed with sour cherries)
2 oz. cachaça (Agua Luca preferred)
crushed ice

In a 10- to 14-oz. old fashioned glass, add lime and farmers’ market fruit. Muddle until fragrant. Add simple syrup and cachaça. Fill with crushed ice. Shake and pour back into original old fashioned glass.
