The Caipirinha, Brazil's national cocktail, is a delightfully refreshing drink perfect for warm days and lively evenings.
Its simplicity belies its robust flavor profile, which offers a perfect blend of sweet, sour, and strong elements. The key ingredient, Cachaça, is a sugarcane-based spirit that provides a unique twist compared to more common spirits like vodka or rum.
