Blackberry and Cabernet Caipirinha

Blackberries San Francisco Bay Area Dinner Party Bachelorette Party Cachaça Cabernet Sauvignon Red Wine Cranberry Juice Lime Juice Orange Juice Brunch Cocktails Drink Batch Cocktail Summer Easy

Summary

A culturally confused cocktail, to say the least, this drink combines elements of Sangría and the Caipirinha, then adds a twist. It’s one of the most popular drinks at Cantina in San Francisco.

What to buy: Cachaça, a sugarcane-derived spirit with a 500-year history, can be found at most well-stocked liquor stores.

Use a well-balanced, affordable Cabernet Sauvignon that will not overwhelm the other flavors in this cocktail.
