Equipment

  • Muddler
  • Cocktail shaker
  • Strainer
  • Old fashioned glass
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Ingredients

For one cocktail:

  • 2 oz cachaça
  • 1 kiwi peeled and quartered
  • 1/2 lime cut into wedges
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Ice

Cachaça is a Brazilian spirit made from sugarcane juice.

Instructions

  • Add kiwi, lime wedges, and sugar to a shaker.
  • Muddle until fruit is crushed and juices are released.
  • Pour in cachaça and fill shaker with ice.
  • Shake hard for 10-15 seconds.
  • Strain into an ice-filled glass.
  • Garnish with a kiwi slice or lime wheel if desired.

Muddling the fruit well is important to extract flavor.

    Notes

    This recipe is easy to scale up for a crowd. Make a pitcher by multiplying ingredients by the number of servings. Muddle fruit in batches if needed.
    Try different fruits like strawberries or pineapple for tasty variations. You can also make a non-alcoholic version by replacing cachaça with lemon-lime soda.
    Caipirinhas are strong drinks, so sip slowly and enjoy responsibly. Serve with light snacks like nuts or chips to balance the sweetness.
