Same as Caipirinha but instead of cachaca you add WHITE RUM. It's great!!!!!!!!

Citrus Refreshing

La Caipirissima es la versión a base de ron de la Caipirinha, sustituyendo el ron blanco por la cachaça pero manteniendo la misma fórmula simple de limas majadas y azúcar. Con un 10,4% ABV, es una bebida más ligera y accesible que el original, con la familiar dulzura limpia caribeña del ron blanco reemplazando el funk herbáceo característico de la cachaça. La lima fresca sigue siendo la protagonista, convirtiendo esto en un cóctel de cítricos fresco y refrescante.

History & Origins

Caipirissima emerged as a widely popular variation on the Brazilian Caipirinha, likely developed for international markets where cachaça was unavailable and white rum was the most accessible substitute. The name reflects the Portuguese suffix that feminizes or diminishes the name, suggesting a softer or lighter version of the original. Its origin is disputed, though the recipe is well-established in cocktail guides throughout South America, the Caribbean, and Europe.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh lime juice and zest, with the clean, slightly sweet character of white rum. Palate: Bright and tart from the muddled lime, with the white rum providing a clean, smooth sweetness; without cachaça's funkiness, the lime and sugar are more dominant. Finish: Refreshing and citrusy, with a clean rum warmth.

citrusy tart fresh clean tropical

Pro Tip

Use two full limes per serving and muddle vigorously to extract the most flavor from both the juice and the peel, as the lime is the dominant flavor component.
