This Cocktail Tastes Like a Dream Holiday

The Prata Punch combines cachaça with violet syrup, strawberry purée, and a top-off of sparkling wine. Who needs a ticket to Rio de Janeiro when you can make this at home?

Here's the great thing about summer: Everyone's on holiday!

Here's the lousy thing about summer: For one reason or another, you're not. And while your Instagram feed is stacked with beaches and jungles and deserts and rooftop bars in exotic locales, you're stuck at your desk, fantasising that you, too, had enough airline miles to jet to Rio de Janeiro with a big straw hat, a babe by your side, and a great cocktail in your hand.

We can help you with that last part, at least. The Prata Punch will transport you at first sip. A dreamy mix of violet syrup, strawberry purée, lemon, sparkling wine, and cachaça, it'prs even topped with a sprinkle of fresh flowers. Have a couple, and you'll straight up believe you're the girl from Ipanema.
