Novo Fogo Cachaça invited eco-conscious bartenders to enter an original cocktail recipe in their Bar Strength Challenge centering around the theme of sustainable drinking using its thoughtfully produced Bar Strength Organic Silver Cachaça.
Out of hundreds of entries only TEN (10) sustainable and eco-friendly Novo Fogo Bar Strength Cachaça cocktails made it to the competition FINALS and asked to create a video explaining how their cocktail is eco-conscious.
*Winning cocktail videos will be announced TWO (2) per week in no specific order, for a total of TEN (10) winning cocktails.
Thank you to all the bartenders who participated in The Novo Fogo Bar Strength Challenge. Stay tuned for the announcement of the FINALE DATE where the final 10 bartenders will compete for the Grand Prize trip to Brazil coming in September, 2022.

Ingredients:
- 2 oz Novo Fogo Bar Strength Cachaça
- 1/2 oz Seedlip Garden
- 1 oz Red Bell Pepper Cordial*
- 3/4 oz Lime “Super Juice” **
- 2 dashes Cardamom Bitters
- Bell Pepper Lime Fruit leather (for garnish)
Preparation: Combine ingredients in a Collins glass with pebble ice and swizzle. Top with more ice and garnish with fruit leather. *Red Bell Pepper Cordial: Blend entire pepper (2-3) minus the stem. Strain solids and set them aside for fruit leather. Combine the pepper liquid with white sugar at a 1:1 ratio and let simmer for about 10 minutes. **Lime “Super Juice” (courtesy of Nickle Morris of Bar Expo): Peel 3 limes. Combine peels in a bowl with 16.5g citric acid and 3g malic acid. Gently muddle them together and let sit for 1 hour. Juice the peeled limes and add to the oleo after 1 hour, along with 1.5 cups of water. Immersion blend the entire mixture (peels included). Strain remaining solids and set aside for fruit leather. Fruit Leather: Set oven to lowest temperature (mine is 170F). Blend together the red bell pepper pulp (about 1 cup) and the discarded lime bits (about 1/4 cup) with 1 cup of water, 4 tbsp sugar, and 1/2 tsp pectin. Pour onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and smooth to a thin even layer. Let it bake for about 5 hours, or until you achieve a leathery consistency- solid but still bendable and doesn’t crack. Garnish with Homemade Fruit Leather
