The National Drink of Brazil | How to Drink

What's up with the bird?
**********************************
The Caipirinha is a drink with a long and strange history. In it's original form it was made with Augadente garlic and honey and used as a medicine for the Spanish Flu in 1918, obviously it didn't really help. But the drink migrated from Portugal to Brazil where it evolved to combine Cachaça (A spirit distilled from fresh cane juice, very similar to Rhum Agricole) sugar and lime and became so popular that it is of course now the National Drink of Brazil. It's easy to make, it's delicious to drink, refreshing, cool, perfect on a summer day.
Making it made me think about one of my favorite Disney films The Three Caballeros. It's a weirder movie, one of the so called "Package Films" made on the semi cheap by combining a series of shorts, it's about Donald Duck receiving a series of birthday presents from his friends in South America, he and José Carioca take a trip to Bahia where they sing and dance with Aurora Miranda (Carmen Miranda's sister!) in a sequence that combines live action and animation and gets really weird. I love it. It's like a Fleischer Studios cartoon but produced by Disney. If you haven't seen The Three Caballeros I encourage you to do so (even though this episode isn't REALLY about the movie) and also, to drink a Caipirinha.
Caipirinha
Two Barspoons of Superfine Sugar
1 whole lime quartered
2 oz. or 60 ml. Cachaça

    So I'm a huge fan and recently concocted a mixed drink (or hope I did I dont know if it exists) it is fruity and sweet 1/2 oz absinthe 2 oz vodka 2oz cherry simple syrup 1oz fresh squeezed lemon juice (Shaken with ice then strained into glass without ice) Add 5 or so ounces of Sprite and stir. Garnished with (icecream sunday) cherries and a lemon skin cut to form wing shapes It's called the red spriggen (play on words cause spriggens are fairies)

    You can also drop the lime wedges skin down and you'd have the same scraping effect. I usually muddle onto the flesh of the lime so the skin would be pushing down or a bit to the side. In any case I think muddling with sugar should extract a fair amount of essential oils.

    Thank you for finally doing a show on one of my all time favorite drinks - yes, yes, yes! I have visited Brazil many times and always love this drink. Note that no matter how you prepare it, you will never match what the street vendors on the beach in Rio can do. There are different types of cachaca, make sure you are using a young (clear) cachaca, not the aged (dark) cachaca. Get real Brazilian cachaca, not rum from another country. The center core of limes can impart a bitter flavor, so cut the center white part out while quartering. Brazilian ice comes from water that is somewhat basic, so try to use basic water rather than slightly acidic water. If you water is acidic for making ice, then dilute the drink slightly with a basic still (no gas) mineral water. Also note that the ambient heat and humidity in Brazil will cause the ice to melt quickly, which is part of the flavor. If you are making this in a cold environment, consider diluting the drink slightly with appropriate mineral water (see above) for the absolute proper flavor. Although straws are evil from the environmental point of view and forbidden in some locations, this is a drink that is absolutely best sipped through a fine cocktail straw, which you can use to stir to aid in the dilution.

    As a native brazilian, who worked as bartender and drinks a lot, I can say the only mistake you made was the pronouce of the word "cachaça". It's more like "caXAsa" then "ka cha ka", but besides that, you nailed it. It's strange to be in this channel not to learn, but to explain something. I particulary, at home, use simple syrup instead of sugar, and sometimes I also use some carboneted drink to make volume (like some ice vodka, soda pop or something like that.) You can also use vodka or sake instead of cachaça, then you call it caipiroska or sakeroska. I really recomend the sake one. Here we also exchange the fruit. Lime, lemon, orange, strawberry, jabuticaba, watermellon, kiwi. Have a good juice, you can use it. I would love to taste a blueberry or cherry one (there is no blueberry and cherrys in Brazil) Keep the awesome work my dude!

    Actually maybe three mistakes though. 1. His wrong Cachaça pronunciation. Kah-shaa-Suh 2. He should have cut ends of lime and middle white center of the lime because that adds bitterness to the drink 3. He adds all ingredients in and shakes all at same time. The last ingredient he should have add was the Cachaça AFTER shaking all other ingredients first.

    Oooh, my favorite all-time drink! By the way, that peanut butter note you're getting is actually more of a texture thing where the natural cane syrup texture of the cachaça is blending with the oils from the lime peel and highlights the slight lime peel bitterness combined with the sweetness of the alcohol and sugar. There is definitely an excellent balance of sweet/tart/bitter combined with the slightly creamy but sublimely refreshing and fresh smooth liquid texture that makes this drink so phenomenal.

    The Caipirinha is my favorite cocktail to drink and make. I generally use only 1/2 lime, personally. But the lime is very pronounced in this drink, and the sugar does help cut the tart bite.

    (6:15) The computer gave you the wrong pronunciation because you did not spell the word correctly. The "ç" near the end has a different sound than a regular "c".

Garnished with (icecream sunday) cherries and a lemon skin cut to form wing shapes It's called the red spriggen (play on words cause spriggens are fairies and the whole green fairy thing)

    Works well with Vodka too! And you can use some other fruit like Strawberries. Also, the reason the computer gave you that pronunciation is because there actually a special type of 'c' in portuguese with a little tail called a "cedilha", which makes it supposed to be pronounced like an S. History Lesson: The reason cachaça and sugar are so prevalent in this drink is because in colonial times, sugar cane was one of the prime plants cultivated in Brazil, especially in the northern region. A "Caipira" is slang for someone who works the fields, and since there were a lot of sugar cane fields, the name became associated with them.

Just one thing we do also different, for that amount of lemon, we usually put a little more of cachaça or vodka for those who don’t like cachaça. Never said anything before, but your channel is the best on drinks in my opinion.

    it is pronounced "ca-shas-sa". the letter "ç" sounds like "s". purists never shake the drink, because it is meant to be assembled and stirred - however, many people agree that it tastes better when shaken. also, the word is "aguardente", with an "r". it means "burning water".

    Greg. I'm a huge fan of your drinks and your own take on classic cocktails. Being from Brazil and with all the respect i'd like to give you some advice on traditional caipirinha. Usually the biggest mistake in making it's making it too bitter. Two things help keeping it sweet and clean: removing the white central stem from the lime and not over muddling it. Use lots of ice, and it is a stirred drink. Gently stirred. Not shaken! I think the best caipirinha in São Paulo is in Jiquitaia. Check out their recipe in youtube. Look for "Nina bastos e suas caipirinhas". Cheers from Brazil!
