I have both cachacas shown in the photo. Last week I took advantage of apricots on our tree and mint spreading like wildfire in our backyard. I was inspired by an article in the latest Imbibe Magazine on smashes. So this is what I whipped up. I handed it to my girlfriend to taste and she wouldn't give it back.

Apricot Smash
1 1/2 oz cachaca
1 apricot
1/2 oz lime juice
1/2 oz rock candy syrup
1/4 oz apricot brandy
6 mint leaves
1 dash of peach bitters.

Muddle the mint leaves with lime juice and apricot. Add rest of ingredients, shake with ice, and strain into rocks glass with ice.

Arriano, I will be trying this recipe in the very near future. Looks delicious.
