Another Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde inspired by our wonderful Brazilian Steakhouse dinner. We start off with the Caipirinha on the left, made with Novo Fogo‘s Cachaca. What made this transformation difficult was the simple three ingredient nature of the drink but I managed to do it. Mr. Hyde is what I’m calling the Southerner in Brazil, an old fashioned in Caipirinha clothing made with the ever excellent High West silver. I can see both complimenting a day on the beach or a hot summer’s night.
