Notes
- No Cachaça? No worries! This cocktail is also great with rum or vodka.
- The Caipirinha is traditionally served in a rocks glass with crushed ice. I don’t have an ice crusher, so I just serve it on the rocks. I do the same when I make it with Rum. If you’re making it with vodka, skip the club soda. Instead, muddle the ingredients in a shaker, add ice and shake hard before serving in a martini glass.
