Cachaça is a brazilian distilled spirit that translates to “sugarcane liquor” from Portuguese. Not to be mistaken with a mojito highball, this cachaça cocktail brings you the freshness of muddled mint leaves and the vibrant tropical flavor of the grilled pineapple garnish.

How to Make It

1. Step
Make the brown sugar simple syrup: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the cold water and brown sugar. Bring to a simmer, then cook until the sugar is dissolved, 5–7 minutes. Remove the pot from heat and let the syrup cool completely.
2. Step
Heat a griddle pan over medium-high heat. Working in batches, grill each slice of pineapple for 2–3 minutes per side, until beginning to caramelize and grill marks appear. Let cool. Once cooled, cut each round into 6 wedges.
3. Step
While the pineapple cools, make the cocktail: In a tall glass, muddle the mint leaves and lime juice.
4. Step
In a large punch bowl, combine the cachaça, pineapple juice, and brown sugar simple syrup. Mix in the muddled mint leaves and lime juice.
5. Step
Immediately before serving, stir in the ice and grilled pineapple wedges, reserving some for garnishing the glasses.
6. Step
To serve, pour into glasses and garnish with grilled pineapple wedges.
7. Step
Enjoy!
