The Copa Caipirinha is H. Joseph Ehrmann’s twist on the classic, with fresh sweet cherries and rich brown sugar syrup. It’s refreshing, intriguing, and as beautiful as a glittering ruby gem set amongst emeralds and peridot.

Cut the half-lime into 4 pieces and add to a shaker, along with the cherries. Press down on the fruit to release the juices (taking care not to crush the cherry pits), add the mint, and muddle again (more gently this time). Add the remaining ingredients, and shake vigorously. Double-strain into an ice-filled glass, and garnish with fresh mint and lime wheels.
The Cocktail Party app puts this drink – and hundreds more – in your pocket, and tells you what you can make from the ingredients you have at home. It’s the best $3.99 you’ll ever spend on a drink.
