Dry apricot eau-de-vie joins cachaça in this lime sour, with simple syrup providing the sweetness. The fruit spirit is deliberately unsweetened, so replacing it with apricot liqueur would change more than the aroma.

Active preparation: 3 minutes

Ingredients

• 30 ml Cachaça
• 22.5 ml Fresh lime juice
• 22.5 ml Simple syrup (1:1 sugar to water by weight)
• 15 ml Blume Marillen dry apricot eau-de-vie
• 1 piece Lime slice or wedge, for garnish

Instructions

1. Measure Cachaça, lime juice, simple syrup and Blume Marillen dry apricot eau-de-vie into a shaker and add cubed ice.
2. Seal the shaker and shake briskly until thoroughly cold, about 10–12 seconds.
3. Fine-strain into a chilled rocks glass over one fresh large ice cube.
4. Finish with a lime wheel and serve promptly.
