Jaba Joe Spritzer (Jaboticaba)

Jaboticaba is a fascinating tree grown mainly in Brazil and grows here in Hawaii. Read all about Jaboticaba on our Cocktails page.

The fruit has a thick skin so I enjoy juicing it or making jam with it. Of course given the choice, it will become a drink! Brian enjoys it too added to 7-Up
