The Caipirinha has been one of the most requested cocktails on this channel and I am so happy to finally get to it. Nobody knows exactly when the Caipirinha emerged in the Brazilian region of Piracicaba, interior state of São Paulo sometime in the 19th Century. Historians say it was created by landowning farmers for fancy parties and other events. There is an account of it's origins hailing from Portugal around 1918 with a popular recipe containing Lemon, Garlic and Honey as a local remedy for Spanish Flu but I could not confirm this myself.
According to Jim Meehan of PDT the recipe has been traced back to 1856 by historian and Cachaça expert Filipe Jannuzzi who found a reference to it's recipe in a document written by civil engineers during a cholera outbreak in the region of Paraty a major Cachaça producing region. Another thing I don't hear mentioned as much is how close to Ti Punch it is. Cachaça really being a form a Rhum Agricole as it is distilled from fresh sugarcane juice. Either way I know you all love this drink, so mix it up this summer and enjoy!

Eu normalmente quando faço caipirinhas eu costumo descascar o limão além de tirar o miolo. Eu acho que isso tira um pouco do amargor que a casca deixa. Mas sem dúvidas esse é um passo opcional, o mais importante que ele foi o primeiro gringo que eu vejo fazer é tirar o miolo.

Caipirinha was imported from the Portuguese island Madeira imigrantes that went to Brasil .the sugar cane was the most important industry in Madeira island .for his sugar . Called at the time the white gold.....caipirinha in Madeira was called Poncha made with lemon and sugar .today is added honey bee . And you can have in various flavos like Pitanga, tangerina,lemon,passion fruit and even Guaíba and many more.

@thomasbernecky2078 2 года назад

How formal of you, I just buy a bag of limes, a jug of cachaça and head off to my favorite Brazilian BBQ. small Peanut Butter jars are best for making them at home.

@lawrencespies8674 Год назад

The way I learned to make them... Half a lime, remove pith, then quarter and add to a 9oz rocks glass. cover with 2 barspoons of fine sugar and muddle. Fill glass with ice then top with Cachaca. Pour everything into a shaker(use the rocks glass and shaker) then shake vigorously until well chilled, then pour into the rocks glass. Thats how "Cachaca Dave" made them. I use Novo Fogo Chameleon Cachaca.

@karlinchina 5 лет назад

Here come a thousand Brazilians telling you you didn't do it right haha ;) Anyway, consider using demerara sugar. This will leave some sugar at the bottom, which we know you like in an Old Fashioned. Also maybe mention how important muddling the lime is (as opposed to just lime juice) because it releases the oil from the peel.

@miltonspalburg3314 4 года назад

I miss the use of cane sugar and after muddling the Sugar & Limes a good cocktail shake together with cashasa and ice cubes and strained over glass with fresh crushed ice gives a more refined taste and end result add short straw to stir with and and an extra lime piece on the rim of the glass

@OMarcelo12 2 года назад

to be fair, if you ask 100 brazilians how to make a caipirinha you'll get 100 different answers

@tommylanger7686 2 года назад

What I find interesting is that in Europe, or at least ing Germany, the preferred sugar is unrefined cane sugar, like Turbinado Sugar. This sugar isn't going to dissolve much, like the fine cane sugar used in the Americas, but I think the heterogeneity of using bigger grains with a little bit of molasses really adds to the experience of drinking a Caipirinha. ^^

It needs enough sugar to precipitate at the bottom. Also, sugar goes on top of the lime not first. Best (does not mean correct) order is lime, sugar, mush it, add marvada (also known as cachaça) and alway, but always ice last.

My local bar ran out of cachaça a number of months ago and haven't been able to get any from their supplier, so we've been forced to improvise and found that using mezcal or bacanora adds a whole new spin on a caiprinha. That super unique mesquite smoke on the agave blends really well with the sweet and lime.

@Victor-kh5rh 2 года назад

Caipiranha is in the daiquiri family. If you replace the cachaça with rum and shake it you have a classic daiquiri, if you replace it with pisco and add an egg white you have a pisco sour, if you replace it with vodka you have a caipiroska. It's such a simple cocktail that it replacing one ingredient or changing the preparation will go a long way. For example I like making cranberry caipirinhas with lemon (instead of lime) and shaken instead of stirred. Sure not the same drink but it's delicious and thats what cocktails are all about.

And, as a friend of mine told me when we were in a *rodizio*, "it's rocket fuel!" (And then we ate a whole lot of grilled meat, which went marvelously with the caipirinhas)

@williammcwhorter6405 5 лет назад

Excellent choice with the Leblon! That is precisely what is in my liquor cabinet because it comes the closest to what I was able to make from 100% fresh-pressed sugarcane juice fermented for ten days at 70 degrees (F) using Lalvin K1-V1118 yeast and distilled on a 22.5-liter stovetop still, making cuts that were slightly heady and deep into the tails, removing just a brief part of the tails where nasty fusel oils come over. This was when I lived in a part of the world where this was legal. Leblon also represents the category very well while still being affordable, and at least in my opinion is superior to many of the rhum agricoles with the French AOCs. Brazil does not strictly regulate the production of cachaça, so it is entirely unclear what proportion of any given cachaça's fermentable sugars came from fresh-pressed sugarcane juice as opposed to other sources. But I withhold judgement. It might be that the very best recipe doesn't follow purity standards. Thanks for an excellent video whose time had come.

@m.c.fromnyc2187 2 года назад

Very good video! I am not a bartender, but you could have removed the central pith from the lime after halving it, not after you cut the lime in four, as follows: You hold the half lime firmly in your palm and make a 45 degrees incision on both sides of the center pith, creating in the lime flesh a v-shaped groove, thus safely slicing out the stringy pith.. Also, I would go for coarsely crushed ice, rather than ice cubes.

@Igorthebard 4 года назад

Not really the most orthodox way, but I prefer to use double syrup instead of sugar. It evens the sweetness a bit more along all the cocktail IMO. Demerara also fits perfectly. The caipirinha is a very versatile drink, tbh, it's fun to just play it by ear and use other fruits or proportions, there's plenty of interesting combinations in brazilian bars

@alcrocci 5 лет назад

Very well made! I would only keep the sugar a little less diluted and serve it with a straw, to feel the grains of sugar. Some interesting variations of caipirinha are: using demerara sugar, brown sugar or something we call "rapadura" instead of regular sugar; combining lime and lemon; using cashew instead of lime; and using golden cachaça (aged in barrels made out of Brazilian woods such as amburana and bálsamo), instead of the regular "branquinha" (the white one). Also, Leblon is a terrible, expensive and overrated cachaça, made to serve the international markets. Unfortunately, I believe that the better ones are not exported.

Leandrohhhhhhhhhhhhhh, my friend! This is timely as we are taking holiday end of this month and I'm quite sure I'll be filling my stainless growler with this for our beach days. Listen, I'm thinking of using organic sugar in the raw instead of white sugar, mainly to avoid the heavy pesticides and processing involved with white sugar. I think it may add a really nice caramel overtone to the drink as well. Of course, I will have to make simple syrup since the raw crystals are so large and won't dissolve easily, sooo: You think still a 1:1 for raw sugar simple syrup for this purpose? Cheers!

So nowadays you are obligated to make your caipirinha with a straw and cane sugar that people can chew on.

@FeelingShred 4 года назад

Regarding Cachaça, rule of thumb is: the easier to find it is, the odds are it's not the "legit" real thing. Be careful with these cheap ones you find at supermarket shelves, they mix raw cleaning alcohol (industrial kind) with it to fill the bottle, it's not the whole thing made of pure unadulterated cachaça. Honestly, I don't even know if "boutique" brands will have the legit stuff. You will find the "real" cachaça from small farmers on the countryside, and these ones you can drink raw they taste good. For the ones aged in wood search "cachaça envelhecida madeira", these are the places which do the correct process for making them If you need any let me know, I have to figure out a way of exporting it or shipping it somehow. I know a guy who makes these, now with the cheap dollar we might consider exporting it, would be easier for us. One litre bottle goes for around 20 bucks. I will talk with him to see if there's the possibility of making small bottles for tasting samples, also cheaper to ship those. Reach out, let me know.
