CAIPIRINHA



Caipirinha image

It doesn't get simpler or more refreshing than a classic caipirinha, which is the national cocktail of Brazil. The sweet-tart drink calls for just three ingredients: lime, sugar, and cachaça, a sugarcane liquor that's like a smokier version of rum.

Time 10m

Yield 4 caipirinhas

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 limes
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 quarts ice
1 cup cachaca (Brazilian brandy made from sugar cane)

Steps:

  • Cut the limes in half, and then cut each half into 8 pieces. Place 12 pieces of lime in each of 4 double old-fashioned glasses (or other 12-ounce glasses.) Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of sugar into each glass. Using a muddler or the butt end of a large wooden spoon, mash the limes into the base of the glass. Try to dissolve the sugar as you do this, and stir occasionally. Fill each glass with 1 1/2 cups of ice and 1/4 cup of cachaca. Pour the contents of the glass into a shaker, and invert the glass into the shaker to act as a lid. Shake the glass and shaker to combine the sugar and cachaca for several seconds. Lift the glass from the shaker, and pour the contents back into the glass. Repeat the process with the remaining 3 glasses.

I found this cocktail recipe on the CookBrazil website. The Caiprinhia cocktail was designated the National Cocktail of Brazil, and has simple ingredients of limes, Cachaca liqueur, superfine sugar and crushed ice. For flavor variations, you can add other fruits like raspberries or cherries, or even cucumbers are popular in the summertime. But the authentic version is the lime Caipirinha.

Categories     Cocktails, Drink

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 limes , chopped into wedges, plus extra lime wedges to serve (optional)
5 tbsp golden caster sugar
200ml cachaça
ice

Steps:

  • Put the lime wedges in a large jug with the sugar, then use a muddler or the end of a rolling pin to break them down. Release as much juice from the wedges as possible, and let it mix with the sugar to create a syrup - you can also do this with a large pestle and mortar. Discard the lime peel.
  • Divide the syrup and cachaça between four glasses, then top with the crushed ice. Serve garnished with lime wedges, if you like.
