Caipirinha – The Famous Brazilian Cocktail 🇧🇷🍹
Caipirinha is a traditional Brazilian cocktail made with cachaça – a local sugarcane-based spirit. Refreshing, slightly sweet, and tangy, it’s the perfect drink for hot days!
Ingredients:
- Cachaça – 50 ml
- Lime – 1 piece
- Cane sugar – 2 tsp
- Crushed ice – 1 cup
Preparation:
- Cut the lime into 4-6 wedges and place them in an old-fashioned glass.
- Add the cane sugar and muddle the lime with a muddler (or the back of a spoon) to release its juice.
- Fill the glass with crushed ice.
- Pour in the cachaça and mix well.
- Garnish with a lime wedge and serve with a straw.
Tips:
🍸 If you don’t have cachaça, you can substitute it with white rum – this variation is called Caipirissima.
🍓 Adding berries (such as strawberries) creates a fruity twist on this classic cocktail.
Enjoy this Brazilian favorite! 🇧🇷🔥
