We don't want to spoil your evening if you happened to TiVo Saturday's Singapore GP, but Felipe Massa didn't fare all that well.  Still, if you'd like to toast the Ferrari pilot's accomplishments (perhaps both past and future), you might want to try this - a cocktail drink named for the Brazilian F1 driver.

We were handed this recipe from Cabana Cachaça, an importer of Brazilian's national liquor.  Cachaça is created in a process similar to that of rum, but, like the country's primary fuel source, is distilled entirely from distilled sugar cane.  According to Cabana, the drink recipe, crafted by Tim Cooper of Contemporary Cocktails, goes like this:

  • 1 oz Cabana Cachaça
  • 1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 oz simple syrup
  • 2 strawberries
  • 2 oz Prosecco
  1. Muddle strawberries with lemon juice and simple syrup in the bottom of a mixing glass
  2. Add Cabana and ice
  3. Shake and strain into a champagne glass
  4. Top with Prosecco
  5. Garnish with a strawberry wedge
There you have it.  Remember to drink (and TiVo) responsibly.
