Directions:
Chill glass:
Rinse rocks glass and place in freezer until ready to serve or fill glass with ice water for 30 seconds immediately before preparing cocktail.
Prepare:
Pour one tablespoon of light brown sugar at the bottom of the chilled glass. Gently pack sugar evenly on the bottom of the glass with a spoon. Drop half a lime cut into two segments into the glass over brown sugar (optional: squeeze each segment depending on desired taste) and top with crushed ice up to the rim. Pour 2 shots of high-quality white rum or cachaca (a Brazilian spirit made from "grape", pressed sugarcane juice) over ice.
Non-Alcoholic
Keep the above recipe but substitute Ritual Rum® for rum or cachaca and keep the rest of the recipe the same.
History
Cachaca (a main ingredient similar to rum) has been available in Brazil since the 1500's. But the most famous cocktail of Brazil, the caipirinha's origin is uncertain.
There are a couple accounts of its beginning though that lead us to Portugal.
One is that the cocktail originated in 1918 in Alentejuo, a region of Portugal, but included honey, garlic and possibly lemon. It's thought to have been utilized as a way to stave off the Spanish Flu and possibly end the epidemic. Such variations of the cocktail are known to help with symptoms of the common cold.
The other story is that the cocktail is a version of the Poncha, a similar cocktail from Madeira, Portugal.
Regardless of the history, this drink is perfect for any season and provides the sweet and sour that so many of us crave in a mixed drink. Enjoy!
