What is the bartender tip for a Caipirinha Jorge Amado?
A smash hit in Paraty: Gabriela is a clove-and-cinnamon infusion, somewhat liqueur-like (~22%), so the recipe needs no extra syrup. Serve it unstrained to get the fruit texture and the spices. Even with 80 ml of cachaça, the drink stays light and refreshing.
