We added a splash of pink grapefruit soda to finish - absolutely lovely!

I really liked this. I did reduce the amount of sugar syrup to 5 ml based on the below comments about the sweetness of the drink. I found it to be very refreshing, perfect for a sunny afternoon!

can't the name be a reference to brazil 66, one of the most famous band that, along with sergio mendes made world wide hits such as Mas que nada?

It could indeed. I've amended the history above accordingly and added a video of Sérgio Mendes and Brazil 66 performing Mas Que Nada.

This is indeed an orange influenced Caipirinha, but I don't think it adds anything over a regular one - if anything it takes away.

Had this for the second time. Used an overproof Haitian Clairin (still sugar juice based) instead of the Cachaca. I find the Clairin has more depth of flavour and is smooth even with the proof. The higher proof makes the cocktail a bit drier. Great for an evening sipper.

I like this but would use a little less cane syrup to reduce the sweetness a bit

I served one today with our usual recipe (very similar, but 10ml Demerara syrup, 50ml Pitu and 20ml triple sec) and a customer asked for it again, but as a long drink. I quite lazily topped it with soda water, to fill a 350ml Collins with a spear of ice. The result was super tasty, and I've just tried it subbing lime, sugar and soda for sprite which I think's my favourite twist on it yet.

Actually, what I meant to say when I logged on was, I missed the bit about serve in an ice-filled glass and enjoyed it straight up.

Struggling to relate the history to the drink (Or the reference to the bar which, according to Diffords, was founded in 98?) but this is a nice, smooth, well balanced cocktail. When I have squeezed an orange, this will be on my list. Actually, I might make another... (But Chris, I am not sure about after 3?)

The cocktail was made after the bar opened in 1998 but the name references the 1966 World Cup, which incidentally England won.

Alright, I am struggling to tolerate the smell of cachaca. I purchased the Leblon as it was all the store carried to make Caipirinhas bit it has sat in the back of the cabinet for a few months. If you can get past the smell the cocktail tastes pretty good. It will not be in my rotation however.

After three of these I swapped out the cointreau for some habanero liqueur (fck trump and his stupid fckn wall. a great name) takes the edge off the sweetness.

For those who prefer a more "sour" flavour - omit the orange juice

This is great. I find the traditional Caipirinha a little jarring, but this is very smooth.
