Caipiroska

Our caipiroska cocktail is Brazil’s vodka-powered answer to summer!

Looking for something cool but not too blue? A classic caipiroska cocktail is the zesty cousin of Brazil’s legendary caipirinha, swapping out cachaça for vodka and bringing new energy to happy hour. Born in Brazil in the 1970s, this inventive twist mixes fresh lime and sugar together, then pours in smooth vodka and heaps of crushed ice for a crisp, tart treat that knows how to party.

And there’s no need for expensive downtown cocktail bars, making this cool caipiroska recipe is super-simple! Mash together the lime and caster sugar right in your glass, then add a slug of vodka and top with crushed ice. Mix until your glass frosts over and every sip is bursting with a sweet and sour sparkle.

It’s caipirinha’s globe-trotting alter ego - same magic, but vodka brings a sleeker edge that’s loved from São Paulo to Sydney. Feeling fruity? This caipiroska drink recipe lets you riff on tradition. You can swap lime for berries, kiwi, or mango, shake in a hint of ginger, or try basil for a fresh twist. You can even blend up your creative caipiroska cocktail for an ultra-chilled slushy extravaganza.
