Making a Caipirinha: The National Drink of Brazil

[@MyChico0]

This video is already some years old but it's an amazing drink. Very well made. A little bit different from what most people in Brazil use to do with the brown sugar. But still amazing. IMO better than the usual which takes much more sugar

I'm so glad to revisit this one... I had forgotten how good the drink is! -B

I recoiled in horror from the brown sugar syrup. He used granulated sugar as well. The way I learned uses powdered sugar. My favorite cocktail.

@@texasrigger1316 in Brazil there's not much thought put into what kind of sugar you use, then you would just get whatever you have at home. But mostly, bartenders will make it to be as friendly as possible for the tastes of pretty much everybody. So usually you'll have a very sweet (3 table spoons of sugar) and not very alcoholic beverage (1 ounce of cachaça, 2 is common but not more than that)

@@texasrigger1316 The type of sugar really doesn't matter that much, you're making a syrup out of it it'll be dissolved in water, the distinction between powdered and granulated sugar is not useful at that point. And the brown sugar just adds a subtle bit of molasses notes.

Great video guys. Some people here in Brazil also make it with peeled lime

Making some Caipirinhas right now for christmas lol

[@victorcast2467]

Sometimes when you want to make a larger drink but not get hammered you cand add some more cachaça dilute it with some water. Great for making 500ml large cup and drink it on the beach over a long amount of time.

Should have added variations like Caipiriokas (vodka), Sakarinhas (Sake). Very delicious

I always forget what the difference is

I'm not sure about national cocktail, but the national spirit of the US is bourbon. Maybe that makes the cocktail the old fashioned?

As a resident of the Missouri Ozarks, I'm pretty sure our state drink is meth...
