Garota de Ipanema (with Cortese Pure Tonic) by Sabina Yausheva

  • 1776 views

A drink inspired by the famous song by Antonio Carlos 'Tom' Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes and his poetic lyrics 'Look at how much beauty, full of grace: it is the girl who passes gently swaying towards the sea'… Notes and words that catapult whoever drinks this drink, made by bartender Sabina Yausheva, in that seductive land full of life that is Brazil. All based on cachaça, a distillate of sugar cane juice and Cortese Pure Tonic, a natural tonic that contains only water, mineral salts, sugar and authentic natural quinine.

Imagining your feet in the sand, lying under the shade of a palm tree, overwhelmed and seduced by the musicality of the Portuguese, your skin warmed by the sun, a drink in hand and, in front of you, the splendid panorama that only Rio de Janeiro can offer. A hymn to travel, for a drink, 'Garota de Ipanema' which, in the intentions of the bartender, wants to make one escape from reality even for a few minutes and dream of being elsewhere. No red areas, no yellow areas, just warm, sandy areas.
