One thing I love to do is find and taste new liquors. Two of my new favorites are below:

LEBLON from Brazil. This is a natural sugar cane liquor. It has a wonderful fruity nose. Use this to make the perfect Caipirinha. Caipirinha 2 oz Leblon Cachaça 1 lime 1½ - 2 Tbsp super fine sugar (to taste) Slice the lime into thin slices, place in a 10oz rocks glass and add sugar on top. Muddle well with a muddler (or something suitable). Fill the glass with ice, then Leblon Cachaça. Stir for about 10 seconds (important!) and garnish with a lime slice and a cocktail straw.

Next up is ZWACK. This is not a new liquor but it is new to the US. It has been made in Hungary since 1790 but is just getting introduced into America. Made from a secret recipe containing more than 40 different herbs and spices, it has a very deep and complex aroma and flavor. It’s great as a before or after dinner drink, with or without ice. I prefer it chilled from the fridge but with no ice. It is similar to Jagermeister but smoother.
