Ingredients

• 6 drops Brewch Passion Fruit
• 2 oz cachaca
• 1 whole lime, cut into wedges
• 2 tsp fine sugar
• Crushed ice | Lime wheel for garnish

Method

1. Add the lime wedges and sugar to a rocks glass and muddle to release the juice.
2. Add Brewch Passion Fruit and the cachaca.
3. Fill with crushed ice and stir vigorously until chilled.
4. Garnish with a lime wheel.

Base spirit: Cachaca (40% ABV) | ABV: medium (approx 16-20%) | Glass: Rocks glass

2. Mocktail Version (Zero-Proof)

Swaps

• Replace cachaca -> 2 oz coconut water plus a splash of soda for lift
• Keep: 6 drops Brewch Passion Fruit, muddled lime, sugar, crushed ice

Method

Muddle lime and sugar, add Brewch Passion Fruit and coconut water, fill with crushed ice, and stir. Top with a splash of soda.

Zero-proof base: Coconut water + soda | ABV: zero

3. Seltzer Version

Passion Guava Seltzer (single 8 oz / 240 ml glass)

• 4 drops Brewch Passion Fruit
• 1 drop Brewch Pink Guava (accent)
• 8 oz / 240 ml cold sparkling water
• Garnish: Lime wheel

Method

1. Fill a glass with ice and add 8 oz cold sparkling water.
2. Add 4 drops Brewch Passion Fruit plus 1 drop Brewch Pink Guava, then stir gently.
3. Garnish and serve immediately.

Seltzer dosing: 3-5 drops primary per 8 oz glass; add accents 1 drop at a time.

4. Why It Works

A caipirinha is built on the contrast of bright lime, raw sugar, and grassy cachaca. Passion fruit slides right into that triangle -- its tropical tartness echoes the lime while adding an aromatic top note that makes the drink taste freshly squeezed.

5. Pro Tip

Muddle gently. You want the lime juice and oils, not the bitter white pith. For a crowd, batch the cachaca and Brewch, then muddle lime and sugar per glass.
