1 1/2 oz Leblon cachaça

3/4 oz Fernet-branca

1 1/2 oz Pineapple juice

1/2 oz Fresh lime juice

1/2 oz Mint syrup*

Combine all of the ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake well and strain over fresh ice into an Old Fashioned glass. Garnish with a sprig of mint, lightly lightly spanked between your hands to release the aroma.

*For the mint syrup, combine 2 cups sugar, 2 cups water, 1/2 tsp salt, and 2 cups of roughly chopped mint leaves in a saucepan. Bring to a light boil and remove from heat when the sugar is dissolved. Let steep for 30 minutes, then strain and allow to cool.
