Malcriado
by
Lamparina Cachaçaria
Refreshing, with a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity, and with a base for a creamy foam, this cachaça cocktail is inspired by the classic whiskey sour.
The name comes from the Portuguese expression "mal criado", which means ill-mannered, and it was chosen because this drink is a somewhat subverted creation of the original recipe of a sour.
Here, it's made with cachaça, orange juice reduction, and aquafaba instead of egg white. It's perfect to accompany grilled meats, spicy chicken wings, cheese platters, and mixed nuts.
