Bartender tips

Juicing the lime allows for only the good juice of the lime to be used. Muddling reveals the lime zest containing bitterness as well as lemon essential oil. To balance the flavors, it is therefore better to juice rather than muddle.

Origins of the cocktail

The famous Caipirinha cocktail originated in Brazil with Cachaça (a Brazilian rum) and has become the national drink, enjoyed everywhere from street corners to beaches.

As early as 1800, Brazilian slaves mixed "Garapa" (boiled sugarcane juice) with local brandy for celebrations, sometimes adding fruits or spices, creating "Batidas" like the popular "Batida de Limao" with lime - the precursor to the Caipirinha.

 

The cocktail's popularity grew with the availability of reliable ice production, making it more refreshing and easier to enjoy. The name "Caipirinha" officially emerged in 1900, blending "Caipira" (people) and "Curupirinha," signifying the people's drink.
