This is my interpretation of a classic style of Brazilian drink. Often these are blended, but variations appear here and there that are on the rocks like this one. I like to use Leblon cachaça at the bar because it’s a multi-distilled, and therefore lighter, product.

I’ve just made this and although the taste was wonderful, the color left a lot to be desired: it was much browner than the really beautiful red in your picture.
I did use homemade grenadine, and I suppose that was the culprit. Or maybe the store bought pineapple juice? Any ideas on how to make the color a bit better?
loved it!!
Is the pomegranate grenadine a form of simple syrup? Also, would you recommend the soda or mineral water and why?
uh, YUM…
