Caipirinhas
These Caipirinhas are a Brazilian specialty and one of my favorite cocktail discoveries from my travels!
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 limes, 1 juiced and 1 quartered
- 4 teaspoons white sugar (super fine if you can find it)
- 4 ounces cachaca
- sparking water to top
- crushed ice to serve
Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker, muddle together the quartered lime pieces and sugar. Muddle until all the juice is extracted from the limes and mixed with the sugar.
- Add the cachaca, remaining juice from the other lime and some ice and secure the shaker lid and shake for 30 seconds.
- Pour the liquid into 2 ice filled glasses and top with a splash of sparkling water.
Notes
Try different flavors of sparkling water for a new twist.
