Caipirinha is made from Cachaca (distilled alcohol beverage from fermented sugarcane), lime and sugar. It tasted almost like Mojito, both used lime and sugar. The difference is that Mojito is made from white rum, soda water and mint.

ReplyDeleteI like Mojito so I definitely gonna like the Caipirinha too, looks so refreshing :)
ReplyDeleteI had to smile when just having the chance to catch up on your blog I find a post about Brazilian drinks. We haven't had either of these since moving back from Brazil last October. The batidas were so good, but only in small quantities for me because that condensed milk is sweet! :) My favorite was the passion fruit version.
ReplyDeleteI've never had this, but our neighbor had an au pair from Brazil who knew how to make it!
ReplyDeletefoodbin: Yes, very easy!
ReplyDeletenoobcook: I think it is refreshing because of the lime :)
lori: The passion fruit version of Batidas? Wow... I must try it someday!
mica: Hope that you'll be able to give it a try ;)

ReplyDeleteThese drinks look so refreshing! Why is it called "Ladies Coconut Drink"? Is it mean for ladies only? Can men drink?
ReplyDeletecumi & ciki: Making a drink sounds great! hehehe..
ReplyDeleteFFT: As I understand, mostly women drink this cocktail (though no prohibition for men to drink it, hehehe), probably because it tasted pretty sweet.
