On the Rocks: Raspberry Caipirinha.

Caipirinha (KIE-PUR-REEN-YAH) is the national drink of Brazil and I had the good fortune of being introduced to it by a Brazilian roommate while interning in Chicago a few years ago. It’s super duper easy and versatile, so you can try whatever muddled fruit you like. This is one of my favorite versions – a Raspberry Caipirinha.

Raspberry Caipirinha
• 1 C raspberries
• 2 Tbsp sugar to taste
• 3 oz Cachaça
• crushed ice

Muddle raspberries and sugar together, using a muddler or a wooden spoon until the sugar is dissolved and the juice of the raspberries is released.Fill the glass with crushed ice. Add 2 ounces Cachaça. Garnish and serve. Serves one.
