Caipirinhas
I call up it's going to be mandatory for every country I visit to have a signature cocktail. Chile had that amazing, life changing Pisco Sour, and Brazil introduced me to Caipirinhas!
I'm an equal opportunity cocktail drinker (except when it comes to beer, whiskey, bourbon or scotch – sorry Thomas) and these Caipirinhas are freaking amazing. Made with Cachaça, these delish cocktails make an appearance on merely about every Brazilian menu. Most are traditional Caipirinhas similar the recipe I'thousand sharing below, and some are inventive Caipirinhas with jazzy fruits and flavors. Cachaça, made from sugarcane, is Brazils most pop grade of hard liquor and today I'one thousand bringing it stateside.
Inspired by the dozens of Caipirinhas I consumed while in Brazil, I wanted to introduce Thomas to this beverage and share it with all y'all guys just in time for the weekend. I opted for a traditional Caipirinha made with Cachaça, freshly squeezed lime juice and sugar. I topped mine off with a spritz of sparkling h2o to give it a bit of fizz and to make sure I didn't get tipsy while recipe testing. (tough task, I know)
These are the perfect way to cheers the weekend. I'll be whipping them up all weekend long and pretending I'grand back on the embankment in Brazil with my bikini, sunglasses and a coconut!
