Bombeirinho

Bombeirinho is a Brazilian cocktail that is usually taken as a shot. In its basic form, the drink combines cachaça (Brazilian sugarcane spirit) and redcurrant syrup. To make the drink, a shot of cachaça is topped with a splash of syrup.

Another popular variation consists of cachaça, redcurrant syrup, lime juice, and lemon juice. To prepare it, the ingredients are shaken or mixed with ice, and the combination is then strained into an ice-filled glass. Bombeirinho translates as fireman.

The name probably originated as a reference to the red color of the drink that resembles firefighters' uniforms.
