"Laranja" - Cachaca With Orange Juice

I started mixing up a quick cachaca sour but then, instead of adding orange liqueur, I added an ounce of fresh orange juice. Works really well; something about the orange juice mellows the cachaca and adds freshness.

2 oz. cachaca
2.5 oz. sweetened juice of lemon
1 oz. juice of orange

Shake and serve up with a sugared rim.

Next time I'm going to try adding no water to the lemon-sugar concoction, given that orange juice has a lot of water in it.

"Laranja" is Portuguese for "orange". At least that's what Babel Fish says.
