Categories     Beverages

Time 10m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 lime, diced
1/2 small lemon, diced
1/2 small orange, diced
1 sugar cube
ginger beer, to serve
of fresh mint, to garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Muddle to release the juices.
  • Strain into an old-fashioned glass filled with crushed ice.
  • Top with ginger beer.
  • Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint on top of the drink if desired.
  • Serve with a straw.

Tips:

  • Use fresh limes for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but the flavor will be less bright.
  • Use a muddler to crush the limes and sugar together. This will help to release the flavors of the limes and sugar.
  • Don't over-muddle the limes. If you muddle them too much, they will become bitter.
  • Use a good quality cachaça. Cachaça is a Brazilian liquor made from sugarcane. It is the main ingredient in a caipirinha.
  • Serve the caipirinha immediately. Caipirinhas are best when they are served fresh.

Conclusion:

The caipirinha is a refreshing and delicious cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you like your caipirinhas sweet, sour, or somewhere in between, there is a recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for a new cocktail to try, give the caipirinha a try.
