Caipirinha is the national drink of Brazil and a perfect summer time “Boat Drink”. It is a potent blend of fresh lime, sugar and a Cane Spirit called Cachaca (think of it as Rum’s Cousin). This is strong drink, Martini strength, and not a cocktail for the faint of heart. We should also caution that in the sun, too many can cause one to get woozy and lose their inhibitions showing behavior much like that at Carnival! Be forewarned.
The Caipirinha
- In a Large Rocks Glass
- Add 2 Wedges of Lime
- ½ to 1 Ounce of Sugar Syrup to Taste
- Muddle the Two Together Well
Top with 2 Ounces of Cachaca (We like Pitu Brand)
Fill Glass with Fine Ice. Stir & Enjoy!
Variations: Try throwing a few fresh seasonal berries in with the muddle for a nice twist on the original.
