If you’re looking for a fresh, classic Brazilian beauty that’s a little rough around the edges, consider Victoria’s Secret model Adriana Lima, or in our case, the Lima Fresca. As its cocktail inspiration, Lima is from the lush rainforests of Brazil, loves boxing, and prefers the traditional caipirinha with lemon instead of lime. The Lima Fresca, made by mixologist Pablo Moix, contains fresh ingredients, like lime and lemon, but also features condensed milk and freshly grated cinnamon, while also being delicious and irresistible to look at...are we talking about Lima again?
