Caipirinha is Brazil’s national cocktail, made with cachaça, sugar, and lime. Here’s how to make this light and refreshing drink, with just enough bite.
Cachaça is Brazil’s national distilled spirit made, from freshly-pressed sugarcane juice. Cachaça is 500 years old; it is an older spirit and larger category than rum. Since it’s distilled from a fresh plant, terroir matters. The terroir of the coastal Atlantic Rainforest makes Novo Fogo Organic Cachaça unique. When you open a bottle of Novo Fogo, you can smell and taste the natural wonders of southern Brazil.
CAIPIRINHA: THE INGREDIENTS
- 2oz Novo Fogo Organic Cachaça
- 1/2 lime
- 2 tsp. sugar
(Serves one.)
It’s Time to Mix!
CAIPIRINHA: THE METHOD
- Slice the lime into 1/2-inch rounds, cube them, and muddle them in an Old-Fashioned glass with the sugar.
- Add a couple of ice cubes.
- Pour in the cachaça.
- Serve with a stirring rod.
