Behind the Burner: Pineapple Caipirinha with Sweet Lime Espuma by John Hogan

Makes 1 serving

INGREDIENTS:

Half of an organic lime, cut into four pieces
Four 1/2 inch cubes of organic pineapple
1 oz. freshly squeezed organic lime juice
1 oz. organic agave nectar
1 large organic egg white
2 oz. Cuca Fresca Premium Cachaca
1 spiky pineapple leaf for garnish

PREPARATION:

1. In a cocktail shaker, muddle the lime, pineapple and sugar cubes until the mixture has an even consistency.

2. In a separate small shaker, combine the lime juice, agave nectar and egg white to make the espuma. "Dry shake" (without ice) until the mixture is thickly frothy, about 30 seconds.

3. Add ice cubes to the muddled mixture and pour in the Cuca Fresca. Shake vigorously, then pour the mixture, unstrained, into a tall glass.

4. Top with the espuma and garnish with the pineapple leaf.
