The caipirinha is a perfect summer cocktail - full flavored Brazilian sugarcane rum (cachaca), cut by zesty lime and sweet sugar. This version uses muddled jalapeño. At first sip, you get sweetness and light, but then a warming rush of the chili pepper comes in like a burst of tropical sun. Served at Brasserio Caviar and Banana in NYC.

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2-3/4 lime, quartered
1/2 fresh jalapeno, seeded
1 tablespoon sugar
3 ounces cachaca (sugarcane rum)

Steps:

  • In a highball glass, muddle the jalapeño pepper with the sugar and lime. The jalapeño seeds may be added back in to taste, but will make the cocktail hotter. Fill the glass with ice, then fill the glass with cachaca, and stir up from the bottom or shake to mix.
  • Here's how you "muddle" ingredients for a cocktail:.
  • Place ingredients into an old fashioned glass, small bowl or mixing glass.
  • If using the glass, wrap a towel around it, in case it breaks.
  • Using a wooden muddler or back of a spoon, crush ingredients against the sides and bottom.
  • Mix so all ingredients are well married.
  • Prepare your cocktail.
  • Tips:
  • A mortar and pestle may be used when making a lot of drinks.
  • Always use the freshest ingredients.
  • Wood will not scratch your glass.

Tips:

  • Select ripe and fresh limes for the best flavor. Look for limes with a deep green color and no blemishes.
  • Use high-quality cachaça for the most authentic caipirinha experience. Look for cachaça that is made from 100% sugarcane juice.
  • If you don't have simple syrup, you can make your own by dissolving 1 cup of sugar in 1 cup of hot water. Stir until the sugar has dissolved completely.
  • Be careful not to over-muddle the limes. Over-muddling can release bitterness from the lime peel.
  • Serve the caipirinhas immediately after making them. Caipirinhas are best enjoyed fresh.

The jalapeño caipirinha is a delicious and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. With its unique combination of sweet, sour, and spicy flavors, the jalapeño caipirinha is sure to please everyone.
