Caipirinha - even faster!!

Wow, I am so happy people this video has been watched so many times. I admit the quality of the filming leaves a bit to be desired but the recipe is really this easy. Caipirinha is my favourite cocktail and not only Brazil's most famous drink but it's now London's 2nd most requested cocktail (after Mojitos), which is fantastic! Enjoy :-)

Wtf this is just a wannabe mojito

[nandocuca]

@jiminirvana Well, cocktails are often very similar. But all the same I recommend you give it a go. I like mojitos too but this is so much zinggier and tangier!!

Always put yellow sugar in the cocktails, white sugar isn't supposed to take part in any!

[nandocuca]

@Patriotis1 Yellow sugar?

That's one small caipirinha! Guess I'm too spoilt from drinker's nation Germany, haha. Good recipe though.

@Th3DooM I always remember what my friend Andre tells the tourists about how many caipirinhas you should drink: "One, two, three, FLOOR!"

@edgesknitcap Barmen use sugar syrup (here they call it 'gum') but it's really for speed and neatness sake. Imagine the state of your bar if you keep missing the mark just a little and keep spreading sugar everywhere. But in bars and restaurants in Brazil they do use caster sugar.

@Tolobbe Me? or the Caipirinha? I can asure you it may not look pretty but it tastes damn nice. But if you have a better recipe (or a way of making it look nicer) I'll be glad to publish it.

@jiminirvana and a mojito is a deravitive of the mint julep and is also very similar to the daiquiri which was even older...

these get you fuckin smacked.

Thumbs up if you clicked on this video expecting the Caipirinha video sped up even *more* than it is in all the remixes.

No, we don't, we use limao which is not lemon but lime.

[bagstod]

Sugar syrup just won't do! Use regular white crystal sugar. Sugar is meant to be dry to extract juice and scent from lime. It's just not about crushing the lime but letting sugar do most of the job.

Very good!

[sparklebarbie100]

Thanks so much!
