Swanky Cocktails: Caipirissima
I don’t know about you, but with the weather getting nicer, sometimes I long for a classy drink just to sit outside and sip on with friends. Be it on a Sunday afternoon, or even during the week for a dinner party, there’s something about light, citrusy cocktails that I love to have new recipes for!
Caipirissima (Brazil)
Ingredients:
1.5 oz Oronoco rum
5 wedges lime
1 tbsp sugar
3 oz fresh squeezed lime juice (not pre-sweetened, like Rose’s)
crushed ice
Preparation:
- In shaker, muddle 4 lime wedges and sugar
- Add Oronoco, lime juice, and ice
- Strain into martini glass and garnish with remaining lime wedge
