30 Cocktails in 30 Days – Day 20: the Caprioska

Mr and Mrs Romance - Day 20 - Caprioska Cocktail Recipe

Day 20 of our 30 Cocktails in 30 Days: the Caprioska

This one’s certainly one for our Mojito lovers out there. The Caprioska is very similar. However, it’s an adaptation of the Brazilian drink the Caipirinha (pronounced ‘kai-pirin-ya’), which uses cachaca (‘ka-sha-sa’) instead of vodka.

Cachaca is a spirit derived from sugar cane. It’s hard to find in the UK and Australia, and if you can find it, it’s usually quite expensive. It’s much smoother than vodka and obviously much sweeter. It is made from sugar cane after all!

Anyway, the Caprioska is a delicious drink. It’s refreshing, sweet and alcohol excellence!

How to make a Caprioska
