Leblon Cachaca Visits Astoria

Who wants to sip in a caipirinha?

If you feel like drinking something refreshing during this sizzling summer, follow the Leblon cachaca truck.
You probably have seen this greene truck around NY. Everything is green resembling the tropical and green of Brazil where cachaca is from; the car, the fliers, the girl's t-shirts, the muddle...


Leblon Cachaca is a high end drink considered a rum; cachaca is made of natural sugar cane, fresh-pressed micro-distilled and rested for up to six months in vintage XO Cognac casks in Alambiques of Minas. The fruity nose drink with complex layers goes really well with herbs making up delicious drinks.
Many prefer to drink it neat, but in US, Leblon caipirinha has been promoted well for top-shelf cocktails.

The Leblon truck has arrived in Astoria, how cool is that! 

A Leblon canvassing girl went to Absolute Licor store this last Saturday giving out samples of cachaca freshly made it on the spot.  

According to her, you must follow the steps:

1. Slice a lime, and place three lime wedges in a glass
2. Add in 2 oz. of cachaca
3. Add 1 oz. or 2 tsp of sugar
4. Muddle all together to extract the lime juice
5. Fill it with ice and stir!
6. Bingo! Pour the liquid and enjoy the most famous drink of BRASIL!

Joey Dee & The Startliters? how cool!

Astoria Park can be hard to get to if you have to use public transportation, but once you are there, summer offers you endless fun times. Today is the last day for concerts. 


But Yesterday, Joey Dee & The Startliters had an amazing performance. I know little about American culture but this band knows how to shake up a crowd.  The 70 years-old lead singer has more stamina than me and my generation together. Queensmites seat calmly with their chairs  and in the grass along Astoria Park in a nice summer breezy day. Astoria Council Member Peter Vallone join the band for 2 songs playing the drums.
