Good stuff but I enjoy this with cachaca over vodka. I did muddled in a shaker glass then gave a good shake. Which is key to this drink.<br/>Part of Menu #66619 which we did taste tasting of the different versions of Caipirinha`s. Thanks! -
I like the crushed ice better than whole cubes. Reviewed for ZWT 7, -
This is STRONG, but that is OK! :) Sure enjoyed it; took me back to the first time I had a caipirinha, which became a fave. This is a cool change and going in my 'saved' book! Thanks for sharing, momaphet! -
