Jefferson de Oliveira - Born and raised in Ubatuba since 1990. The Caiçara culture is ingrained in me, as is the fascination with mixing stories to create new ones. As a background, I am a gastronomy technician and have taken some beer tasting courses. As a professional bartender, my career began with a venture during the pandemic with a craft beer bar and, despite its brief life, it made me fall in love with the bar. Today I work as a bartender at Restaurante Jundu, in Ubatuba
The concept of Mimo de Vênus comes precisely from this idea of combining my caiçara roots with what mixology can offer. In caiçara communities there is a drink called Consertada, where a spiced tea is mixed with cachaça by fishermen. I changed the recipe by introducing hibiscus and dried orange and, instead of making a tea, I infused it directly with alcohol. If mixed with simple sugar syrup, we already have an incredible liqueur, but I wanted to go further and this is how the drink that you will definitely enjoy was born!
