Steps:
- Divide tangerines or small oranges among 6 tumblers. Add 2 teaspoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon grated peeled ginger to each glass. Crush the ingredients in the bottom of the glass with a muddler or handle of a wooden spoon. Top each drink with 2 tablespoons tangerine juice and 1/4 cup cachaa (Brazilian sugarcane liquor) or vodka. Fill glasses with ice cubes, stir, and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh limes: Fresh limes have a brighter, more flavorful juice than bottled or concentrated lime juice.
- Choose ripe limes: Ripe limes are juicier and have a sweeter flavor.
- Roll the limes before juicing: Rolling the limes on a hard surface before juicing helps to release the juices.
- Use superfine sugar: Superfine sugar dissolves more easily than granulated sugar, resulting in a smoother caipirinha.
- Chill your glasses before serving: Chilled glasses help to keep the caipirinha cold and refreshing.
- Garnish with a lime wedge: A lime wedge adds a pop of color and flavor to the caipirinha.
Conclusion:
The caipirinha is a refreshing and flavorful cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, the caipirinha is a great choice for both experienced and novice bartenders alike. So next time you're looking for a tropical drink to enjoy, give the caipirinha a try!
