Caipirinha Brazilian National Cocktail / 巴西卡皮利亚鸡尾酒


Caipirinha / kai-pee-reen-yah is a Brazilian lime cocktail. Rum-like cachaca liqueur blend together with fresh limes and sugar together with lots of crushed ice. A wonderful summer BBQ drink!

The spirit used to make this cocktail is a colourless liquor made from sugar cane juice, called Cachaça,(pronounced as kuh-sha-suh kuh-sha-suh) and also known as Aguardente de cana-Sugarcane alcohol.




  • 1 Lime
  • 2 oz Cachaça
  • Raw sugar to taste
  • Ice cubes
  • 1个 青柠
  • 2盎司 巴西甘蔗酒
  • 适量原糖
  • 冰块

  1. Wash the lime and roll it on the board to loosen the juices. Cut the lime into pieces and place them in an old-fashion glass.
    将洗净青柠放在桌面上,用手掌按住青柠来回揉动使其出汁。青柠切块入古典杯内。
  2. Gently mash the lime pulp with a wooden pestle. Add sugar and muddle until dissolved into lime juice. Add enough ice cubes and pour in cachaca. Stir to mix and enjoy!
    果肉部分朝上,用木杵捣出青柠汁。加入原糖,搅拌至其融入青柠汁。加入足够冰块,然后倒入甘蔗酒。搅拌混合后即可饮用。
