HOW TO MAKE THE BEST
BRAZILIAN CAIPIRINHAS
INGREDIENTS:
- Cachaça "Brazilian Run"Leblon Cachaça is very good
- 1 soft big lime
- 2 tablespoon of super fine sugar
- Ice - crushed is better
- muddler
- shaker
- rocks glass
How to make
Cut the lime lengthwise in half, make sure to cut out the middle white part of the lime, if you don't, It'll taste bitter.
- Slice 1 half into 4 wedges and place into
your rocks glass
- Pour 2 tablespoons of superfine sugar
over the lime wedges
- Take your muddler and mash lime and sugar well
- Fill the rest of your rocks glass with ice, I prefer crushed ice, it taste so much better!
- Pour 2 onces of Cachaça "brazilian run" over the ice
- Cover the rocks glass with the shaker and shake for 10 seconds
- Pour the caipirinha back into the rocks glass, garnish with lime wheel and serve.
CAIPIROSKA
If you think Cachaça is too strong for you, make with Vodka"Caipiroska" instead, it's also very famous in Brazil and taste amazing, my favorite!
You can also change the lime for any kind of fruits like:
Acerola"Barbados Cherry", Pineapple , Banana, Cashew, Lychee, Jaboticaba, Starfruit, Tahiti Lime, Kiwi ,Persian Lime, Strawberry Mango, Passion Fruit, Watermelon,
Tangerine, Green Grapes, Ruby Grape, Sicillian Lime.
