One of the reasons we love going to Zebu Grill around the corner is because their caipirinhas are amazing. They have this fabulous flavor combination of sweet, tart, and smokey. We started to wonder if we could make them at home. We picked up a muddler (which will come in handy for making lots of other drinks too!), some Leblon cachaca (considered one of the best), and some limes and followed these directions:
Yield: 1 Cocktail
Ingredients:
- 1 lime, quartered
- 2 tsp fine sugar
- 2 oz cachaca
Preparation:
- Place the lime wedges and sugar into an old-fashioned glass.
- Muddle well.
- Fill the glass with ice cubes.
- Pour in the cachaca.
- Stir well.
The result? FANTASTIC!! We realized that Zebu doesn't have a magical recipe. They're just kind enough to use the top shelf cachaca and fresh ingredients rather than watering down their cocktails with soda. The secret to the smokey flavor is the Leblon. Mystery solved!
