Raspberry Caipirinha

Raspberry Caipirinha

A fruity twist on a cocktail with a cachaça foundation, the Raspberry Caipirinha is unlike what most Americans experience in their cocktails. Cachaça is distilled from superfine sugar, creating a different consumption experience. A lovely spirit, the Raspberry Caipirinha shows why Cachaça should be enjoyed more frequently.

What you’ll need:

• 2 oz Cachaça 
• 6 Raspberries
• 2 tsp superfine sugar
• ¼ of a lime in wedges

How to make it:

Now it’s time to make the cocktail. We highly encourage a cocktail shaker but a blender will also suffice (make sure to not include the ice in the blender, because it will dilute your drink). These directions will assume you already are a badass at-home cocktail maker and have gone out to get the shaker.

1. Muddle your sugar, raspberries and lime wedges.
2. Fill shaker with ice.
3. Add the cachaça  to the shaker.
4. Shake the shaker until there is a solid frost forming around the shaker.
5. Pour out concoction into your cup, not straining the ice.

Woah! You’ve just made a beautiful drink (we won’t judge if you put it on the ‘gram). For quality cocktail ingredients and at home delivery, go to ShopSK.
