Summer has arrived in the northern hemisphere, so why not mix things up with the seasonal flavors
from the north and the spirit from the south?
Greg Erchoff, our cocktail master on the Leblon team in Paris, came up with this refreshing idea
for a new caipirinha - mix limes with fresh raspberries, a hint of vanilla, outstanding crèmes
from Merlet Distilleries, and of course the super premium Leblon Cachaça. Le Rouge Favela made its
debut at the Bar Sens in Paris, two steps from the Champs-elysees.
