Dawa African Cocktail Recipe

The Dawa African Cocktail is said to be so potent that it will cure whatever ails you. Since Dawa means "medicine" or "magic potion" in Swahili, I’ll believe it! The recipe is based on a famous Brazilian drink that was introduced to Kenya. It is now one of the most widely consumed cocktails in Kenya!

Ingredients

• 1 tsp sugar or 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 2 oz vodka
• crushed ice cubes
• 1 whole lime, quartered with skin on
• 1 dawa stick
• honey

Directions

-Put lime and sugar into a whisky tumbler.
-Crush limes slightly, add ice and pour in the vodka.
-Twist a dawa stick into some honey and add the stick to the drink. A wooden honey stick or other type of stick twisted in honey will work.
-Muddle limes with dawa or honey stick.
-The more you crush the limes into the mixture and stir the sweeter the taste.

Tip:
Add fresh berries along with the lime for different flavors.

The following measurements are equal:
1 oz = 30ml = 1 tot = 1 shot = 3cl
