Strawberry Caipirinha | Labor Day Drink Series Part 1

Описание: What's up, fam?! I'm back with a 2 Part Labor Day Drink Series! This first drink is inspired by my recent vacation to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil where I drank so many caipirinhas I couldn't see straight at times!! The caipirinha is Brazil's national cocktail and is made with only a few fresh ingredients that embody Brazil: cachaca, a liquor made from sugarcane, fresh limes and lime juice, and sugar all muddled together and served over ice! I am taking it a step further and adding in fresh strawberries for an interesting twist on this classic cocktail! You can try it with your own fresh fruits as well including lemons, oranges, mangos and even passion fruit! Y'all, I promise this drink will get you litt and your Labor Day cookout/party will not be complete without it! You can also use vodka or rum instead of the cachaca if you can't find any! Let me know how you enjoy this recipe if you try it out!

Ingredients
2 fresh limes
4-5 fresh strawberries
2-3 oz cachaca (or rum/vodka)
2 tsp sugar

Directions
wash limes and strawberries
roll limes on cutting board to help release their juices
cut off both ends of the limes
peel most of the green and white flesh from the limes
cut limes in half, then remove white flesh from both halves
score the lime flesh, only about 1/4 in deep, to facilitate better juice extraction
slice strawberries
add limes in drink shaker, then add sugar, then strawberries
muddle together
add in 2-3 oz of cachaca (or rum/vodka)
add in ice
mix in shaker for 10-15 seconds
pour and enjoy immediately!
