CLASSIC · HALF LIME (CUT INTO 4 WEDGES)

Ipamena

Name: Ipamena
Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: Half Lime (cut into 4 wedges); 10 ml Brown Sugar Syrup; 40 ml Passion Fruit Juice; 120 ml Ginger Ale; Lime Slice

Muddling the lime with brown sugar rather than simple syrup adds a deeper, molasses-tinged sweetness that mirrors the raw cane sugar used in a classic caipirinha - if you can source Brazilian rapadura or turbinado sugar, the flavour payoff is worth it.
