The Leblon Caipirinha Cocktail
About the Leblon Caipirinha Cocktail
Every day is carnaval when you’re drinking the national cocktail of Brazil.
Ingredients in the Leblon Caipirinha Cocktail
- 2 tsp sugar or 1 oz simple syrup (one part sugar, one part water)
- Half a lime, cut into wedges
- 2 oz Leblon Cachaça
Garnish: Lime wheel
Glass: Rocks
How to make the Leblon Caipirinha Cocktail
In a shaker, muddle the lime and sugar or simple syrup. Fill with ice and add the cachaça. Shake vigorously and pour (unstrained) into a rocks glass. Garnish with a lime wheel.
The Caipirinha is a very delicious beverage. I highly recommend rimming the glass with a little lime juice and some sugar. For a good cachaça, I recommend Sagatiba. Tastes great! Or if you are feeling even more adventurous, try to find Cachaça 51. This will make a good caipirinha a great one!
