ingredient in Brazilian traditional cocktail, caipirinha.
Caipirinha
Pronounced 'KIE-PUR-REEN-YAH', this fresh, exotic cocktail is becoming
as hot among international crowds as it is on Copacabana Beach. The
traditional caipirinha blends Cachaça, sugar cane, lime juice and ice.
Traditional Caipirinha is made with Cachaça, sugar, and crushed limes,
served over ice. It is always muddled (crushed with a masher or the
blunt end of a wooden spoon). Make sure to muddle in a shaker or a
sturdy, non-breakable glass. You can also try replacing lime with
about 1/2 cup of fresh tangerine, star fruit, passion fruit, peach,
pear, pineapple, plum, orange, mango, grape, guava, figs, etc. |
