Stir and serve.
*Cachaca is a Brazilian brandy made from sugar cane.
This caipirinha cocktail recipe is bursting with Copacabana energy!
This caipirinha recipe mixes fresh lime, caster sugar, crushed ice, and cachaça, the lightly sweet Brazilian spirit made from fermented sugarcane juice. Muddle the lime and sugar to release the citrus oils and juice, add a generous amount of crushed ice, then pour over the cachaça. Stir well and enjoy a simple, refreshing cocktail.
To make it your own, swap the lime for pineapple or mango for a tropical version, or add a splash of soda water if you prefer something lighter and fizzy. This classic drink pairs well with Brazilian dishes such as grilled meats, spicy snacks, or any easygoing summer meal.
If you’re in the mood for more fruit-forward cocktails, try a cucumber pineapple tequila cooler, a zingy blackberry and gin slushie, or a jug of mango margaritas. Cheers!
