They are STRONG (when they're made right). Take it from a (half) Brasilian. This one sounds like it could be a nice mixed drink, but it's got so many other things in it that you'd miss the full impact of a caipirinha. One of my friends calls it the "devil drink" and won't touch them anymore, haha.
Personally, I prefer mine with vodka (called a caipiroska) instead of cachaça, and whatever tart fruit is available. Some of the tropical fruits you can get mixed in this drink in Brasil are fantastic. =)

Wow, this looks beautiful! I'm afraid I'd have to take it not so strong, haha. I'd love to make one for friends and make them really impressed!
ReplyDeleteI could use one of these pronto as well..., liquor in it? Preferably!
ReplyDeleteAlmost too pretty to drink, nah!!
Ladies - I'd love to have you all over for these on my porch! The weather is fabulous1
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kristy, they are STRONG! But tasty. Although I prefer their cousin, the mojito :)
ReplyDeletethese drinks are so pretty im inspired to dress up my water with some fruit!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like... cucumber, lime, kiwi, and grape? It can probably double as a centerpiece too =)
ReplyDeleteI want to try the drink just because it looks so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI'll make you one anytime, we made them all last summer. They're one of my favorite drinks of all time. Limey and delicious! (the OG version)
