Ingredients

  • 3 oz. cachaca or other clear liquor
  • 3-4 ripe strawberries
  • fresh basil to taste
  • sugar to taste
  • 1 lime cut into wedges
  • club soda as desired

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of a rocks glass for flavor.
  2. Muddle the strawberries, basil, sugar and 3 lime wedges in the glass.
  3. Add the Cachaça and stir, remove the limes, then add ice.
  4. Top with a splash of club soda to taste, and garnish with a strawberry.

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.
