The story behind Caña Paraguaya Sour

Paraguayan cane spirit gives this sour its national point of reference, reinforced by cane syrup rather than neutral sugar. Lime makes the drink direct and snappy, a compact early-evening serve before dinner.

This is a Where It's Five house creation inspired by local ingredients and drinking traditions, not a historic national cocktail.
