EL DRAQUE

5 mint leaves
¾ oz demerara syrup
¾ oz lime juice
2 oz Pot Still Aged Cachaça

Garnish: lime wheel
Method: muddle the mint with the syrup and lime juice in a cocktail shaker. Add the cachaça and cracked or cubed ice. Shake and double-strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a lime wheel speared on a pirate sword cocktail pick.

Allegedly the favored drink of Sir Francis Drake, this cocktail is a nod to the famous pirate. When I took the photo I didn't have a sword cocktail pick so I used a Surfside Sips bone pick which seemed fitting. This version comes from Smuggler's Cove page 163, which feels like a cross between a Mojito and Caipirinha.
