I know, I know–not another Brazil post(!!) but seriously you guys, this one features something that everyone can enjoy–not just those planning a getaway to a tropical locale–booze!
For those of you not familiar with this sweet and sour tropical delight, the Caipirinha is the national cocktail of Brazil. Ok, maybe not really–I totally just made that up. But in all seriousness, I feel confident in asserting that if there were a national cocktail, this would be it. Hands down. Made from Cachaca, a Brazilian sugar-cane rum, the Caipirinha offers up an authentic Brazilian experience in a glass.
Now, as you might imagine, I encountered and enjoyed many caipirinhas during my vacation in Brazil, and I have to say–for such a straightforward drink, I was amazed by all the variations there were–some better than others, of course. For today’s Tuesday Boozeday I am going to share with you the tricks of the trade, and my favorite approach to the Caipirinha.
