CAIPIRINHA (BRAZILIAN COCKTAIL)



Caipirinha (Brazilian Cocktail) image

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.

JALAPEñO CAIPIRINHA COCKTAIL



Jalapeño Caipirinha Cocktail image

The caipirinha is a perfect summer cocktail - full flavored Brazilian sugarcane rum (cachaca), cut by zesty lime and sweet sugar. This version uses muddled jalapeño. At first sip, you get sweetness and light, but then a warming rush of the chili pepper comes in like a burst of tropical sun. Served at Brasserio Caviar and Banana in NYC.

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2-3/4 lime, quartered
1/2 fresh jalapeno, seeded
1 tablespoon sugar
3 ounces cachaca (sugarcane rum)

Steps:

  • In a highball glass, muddle the jalapeño pepper with the sugar and lime. The jalapeño seeds may be added back in to taste, but will make the cocktail hotter. Fill the glass with ice, then fill the glass with cachaca, and stir up from the bottom or shake to mix.
  • Here's how you "muddle" ingredients for a cocktail:.
  • Place ingredients into an old fashioned glass, small bowl or mixing glass.
  • If using the glass, wrap a towel around it, in case it breaks.
  • Using a wooden muddler or back of a spoon, crush ingredients against the sides and bottom.
  • Mix so all ingredients are well married.
  • Prepare your cocktail.
  • Tips:
  • A mortar and pestle may be used when making a lot of drinks.
  • Always use the freshest ingredients.
  • Wood will not scratch your glass.
