Caipirinha
Caipirinha can be made with cachaça, lemon, sugar and ice. However, as previously mentioned, there are other variations, such as caipiroska - with vodka instead of cachaça - and caipiríssima - with rum. In this recipe we will use the more traditional one with cachaça.
Ingredients
- 1 piece Tahiti Lemon
- 1 dose cachaça
- 1 tbsp sugar
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Wash and cut the lemon into 4 pieces.
- Add the lemon and sugar in an Old Fashioned glass
- With a pounder, macerate being careful not to press the lemon too much and make the drink bitter.
- Fill the glass with ice and then the cachaça.
Notes
The caipirinha recipe is not difficult to make, but the real secret is in the details. So don't worry if it doesn't hit the spot immediately because mashing lemons properly takes practice. So the secret is to always practice!
