Description:
Cafe Medina’s resident Brazilian bartender Thiago Alves puts his own unique twist on Brazil’s national drink with his fresh and floral Ipanema cocktail, named for a vibrant beachside neighbourhood in the heart of Rio de Janeiro. Featuring a base of cachaça, Cointreau and fresh lime, the addition of egg whites creates a frothy texture while chili, rosewater and fresh mint leaves deliver spicy, botanical notes that elevate the Caipirinha-style cocktail to the next level. Garnished with rose petals, the fragrant green-hued libation evokes the natural beauty of its sunny South American namesake.
