Batidas

Caipirinha Recipe

60 ml Cachaça*
1/2 lemon
2 dessert spoons of refined sugar, honey or artificial sweetener

Mounted. Put the half lemon, cleaned, without seeds and with the peel in a glass on the rocks; cut the lemon in 4 pieces; put the sugar and mash in the same glass with a crusher until the lemon juice dilutes the sugar. Add crushed ice and put the cachaça. Decorate with a mixer. NOTE: we can also prepare mixed caipirinhas (with more than one fruit or fruit juice). Ex: strawberry and kiwi caipirinha.

Notes

* Ojea stipulates the brand “51” for his recipes. We scent a merchandising deal, and since we didn’t get a cut, we’ll note that independent of the brand, “white,” non-aged cachaça (including the 51 brand) is best for caipirinhas and batidas.
