LILLET
photo: John BarclayLillet White is a French Apertif wine from Podensac, 20 miles from Bordeaux in the South of France, so you know it's the jam, dudes and dudettes. Lillet is a blended wine of herbs and fruits (sweet oranges from South of Spain, bitter oranges from Haiti, green oranges from Morocco and Tunisia, and cinchona bark quinine from Peru) with a golden sunlit yellow sheen.
A sweet dessert wine, its similar to its Japanese Fu-Ki counterpart without the overbearing aftertaste. Though almost bordering on a liqueur, Lillet doesn't sit as heavy as something like say, St. Germain: there's a very subtle bouquet and a lighter flavor.
For a great apertif after the risotto at Moto, ask for a glass of Lillet White in a neat glass with a few ice cubes and an orange peel. For a cocktail, try it on ice with a dash of angostura bitters and a lime. Also a great substitute for tequila, try a Lillet White Margarita. They are all delicious, and you'll be transported to the South of France while still hangin' out at 351 Broadway, Trophy style.

Cachaça - Taperinha

A swiss man called Arrigo Steinmann, loved Brazil and for him the best things about this tropical country were Feijoada (traditional brazilian dish based with black bean and pork meat) and Cachaça. Cachaça besides being tasty had to be made by artisans. Many years later, his eldest son, Fernando Steinmann, visiting ranchs in the rural area of Fernão–São Paulo state–came across a small stainless steel still with copper coil made by a local artisan. He bought the apparatus and installed in his ranch Sítio Dois Coqueiros, where then in september 14th 2003, Cachaça Taperinha was born.
Taperinha, is made entireley by Mr Steinmann craftsmanship with the help of 2 assistants and his family. The simple and beautiful label was designed by his daughter the art director Fernanda Steinmann. The whole production is completely natural and organic. The water used is from a local spring, which was analyzed by SABESP (Water Service Department from São Paulo state). The sugar cane was developed and recommended by IAC (Agronomic Institute of Campinas), planted and cultivated only with organic soil correction (biodyanmic), avoiding the use of pesticides, without burning techniques and keeping the dry leaves on the soil. This technic of sugar cane cultivation provides the characteristic taste of cachaça Taperinha. The production is made with maximum hygiene and modern technology.
All the bi-products of the production are recycled.
There's two versions:
- aged, minimum of 2 years in Castanha-do-Pará (Brazil Nuts tree) wooden barrils which uses a certified wood against the deforestation
- not aged
production: 680L/month
Biodynamic Soil




*Taperinha is available exclusively at Trophy.
Taperinha was designed to be sipped, but in case you would like to enjoy a cachaça cocktail:
Here it goes:
Taperinha Caipirinha
2 oz. Taperinha
1 lime, sliced
1.5-2 Tbsp. brown sugar
Place most of the sliced lime in a 10 oz. rocks glass and add sugar. Muddle lime and sugar together in the bottom of the glass. Fill the glass with ice. Add cachaça and stir. Garnish with remaining lime slices and enjoy!
