I share a recipe without many complications and relatively inexpensive, unlike the colloquial guarapita.
- 1 lt schnapps 40 GL (I recommend Coplero or 55).
- 2 lemons (whole without seeds).
- 2 or 3 tbsp. of sugar.
- 5 or 6 leaves of mint or pepermint.
- 1/2 orange without shell or seeds (optional).
- 50-100 cc of watermelon juice (only for coloring).
In a mortar, crushed lemon slices, orange with sugar and peppermint and mint leaves until mashed.
Mix the liter of schnapps with the previous pasta and the juice of the side and serve in a short glass if you are going to drink it dry. If you are going to take it cold, use crushed ice in a short glass or cubes in a long glass, add 1/2 teaspoon of mashed potatoes and mix with your finger as Venezuelans do.
