Bartender Naren Young developed this riff on the classic Brazilian Caipirinha at New York's Bobo Restaurant to showcase the flavors of cachaca, a spirit made from distilled sugarcane juice.

Ingredients

　　4 lime wedges (from 1/2 lime)

　　7 green grapes

　　2 teaspoons raw sugar, such as turbinado or Demerara

　　1/4 cup (2 ounces) cachaca

　　3 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces) semisweet white wine such as Gewürztraminer

　　8 to 10 ice cubes

Special equipment:

　　In cocktail shaker, stir together lime wedges, 5 grapes, and sugar. Using wooden muddler or spoon, pound and press until fruit is crushed and juices are released. Add cachaca, wine, and ice, and shake vigorously for 25 seconds. Pour into old-fashioned glass. Thread remaining 2 grapes onto skewer, place in drink, and serve immediately.
