Caïpirinha workshop

Caipi star: Caipirinha with mandarin and star fruit

The workshop

Another activity I did in Florianopolis, making caipirinhas. It is not new, that I loved cocktails. I have a small bar in France, still waiting for me to practice.

Brazil is renowned for the cachaca and the famous cocktail: caipirinha. It is just: lemon, cachaca, sugar and ice. I decided to replace the lemon with many fruits I could find in the market.

One remark, I used honey instead of sugar. If it hard to mixed it in the cold cocktail, mixed it before with a bit of hot water in order to dilute it.

Let’s see the results.

As everybody always asks, I will explain the reason of the broccoli. I was only cooking it ( I really like it ^^) and I wanted to put a counter color so … I added this green piece of broccoli on the top. Creativity has no limit.

The most disappointing. Watermelon is usually really good raw but when mixed in cocktails, it loses its quality.
