About the caipiriña
Caipiriña or Caipirinha, is a very traditional cocktail from Brazil.
Its history tells that Caipirinha was born in the nineteenth century, in the state of São Paulo, in the sugarcane plantations where workers used to drink Garapa, a sugar cane juice and began to mix it with other fruit juices with the cachaça. Then the landowners met her and offered her as a cocktail at her parties and high -ranking events.
As of 1900, it began to be known as Caipiriña , a name born of the mixture of the word Caipira that means peasants who lived in the forests and curupirinha , the name of a mythical demon of the forests and a word that is also used to refer to the state of drunkenness.
Your preparation is very simple! And the result is nothing more than a fruits with a little alcohol , mix your favorite fruit, sugar, chopped ice, and the unmatched Brazilian cachaza.
There are so many fruits that look good in this drink, so we also have many options to try and play with tastes and colors. The main one, the best known and "typical" so to speak, is the caipiriña that is done with lemon.
Tips for preparing a caipiriña expert level
- If you choose to make the version of this cocktail with lemon, I have a secret to ensure the success of this drink:
- When cutting the lemon into 4 pieces you have to make sure the white part of the center , its central axis or placenta; It is important that this part is not part of the drink so that the taste does not become bitter.
- If you do not buy Cachaça or Cachaza , which is a drink or liquor based on sugar cane; It can be replaced by vodka quietly.
- You can prepare the drink with common or refined sugar. What is not allowed to use are synthetic or natural sweeteners. No, that would not be a caipiriña.
- It doesn't matter if we prepare it in a low vessel or in a cocktail shaker, you have to mix all the ingredients very well . It can be a lid bowl, the idea is that everything mixes well.
- To make this drink you can use lime or lemon. While the two are citrus, their flavor or is not exactly the same. The lemons have a more acidic flavor while the files have a sweeter and more aromatic flavor.
- The most important thing is the quality of the ingredients, and should not be petty ok?
