If you are European or in North America, you're probably used to this drink being served with crushed ice, but until you have tried it with small cubes...
I have been making Caipis for many years, in fact it's the first cocktail that I have ever made. I am going to attempt this elaborate version but was wondering about the bit about adding a little water or juice, is that to try and extract more of the lime juice ?
My husband will read me the steps or I won't be able to follow lol
great stuff thanks. Yes step 3 was clear, I only ever use ice from freezer and will crack some with my hammer and lewis bag. I will think of someone I hate during the process lol.
a Daiquiri would be my favourite cocktail and I leave out the sugar, but no amount of sugar could make this palatable. Maybe I have a particularly rough bottle of Cachaca but I won't be trying this again.
Hard to believe, but the first caipirinha in my life. As our limes have not so much taste, I will try Andy's tip and use one lime per serving next time. Maybe it will be necessary to adjust the sweetener.
A Brazilian acquaintance recently guided me in making many of these, except we used 1 lime per serving, and I couldn't fault it. Perhaps it was the sun and farofa.
