Ready

  • 2 ½ oz Cachaça

  • Ice, cubed

Set

  • Rocks glass
  • Cocktail shaker

Go

  1. Muddle oranges, honey and sugar in cocktail shaker.
  2. Add cachaça and ice.
  3. Shake vigorously and pour into rocks glass.
  4. Garnish with mandarin orange slice.

What you should know

Cachaça is a Brazilian liquor that is fermented and distilled directly from sugar cane not from molasses like most rums.
