How do you make a Caipirinha?
(pronounced kai-pee-reen-yah)
2 teaspoons sugar or 1 oz simple syrup
1 lime cut in quarters
2 oz Agua Luca (or any brand of Cachaca you prefer)
Ice
Muddle sugar and limes in a shaker thoroughly.
Add Agua Luca and cracked ice.
Shake vigorously and pour contents of shaker, including ice, into glass.
Garnish with a lime wedge.
How do you make a Mojito?
(pronounced moe-hee-toe)
Ice
6 ounces light rum (Bacardi)
12 mint sprigs, or spearmint, 8 roughly broken apart
6 tablespoons fresh lime juice
4 tablespoons sugar
Club soda
4 slices lime
Place ice in beverage shaker.
Add in the rum, 8 broken up mint sprigs, lime juice and sugar.
Shake well and serve over ice in a high ball glass.
Top off each glass with a splash of club soda.
Garnish each with a slice of lime and a sprig of mint.
Ok, need to put the drink down so you can make cupcakes. :)
Here are several websites which have the recipe for Mojito Cupcakes.
When making Caipirinha cupcakes, just omit the mint. Use Cachaca instead of Rum.
