Brazilian

The Elderflower Caipirinha is a contemporary twist on Brazil's national cocktail, replacing the traditional sugar with elderflower cordial to add a delicate floral sweetness to the cachaca and muddled lime base. Cachaca, Brazil's sugar cane spirit, brings a grassy, slightly funky character that pairs beautifully with the aromatic elderflower. The drink is built directly in the glass over crushed ice.

History & Origins

The classic Caipirinha has been Brazil's national cocktail since at least the early 20th century, traditionally made with cachaca, lime, and sugar. The elderflower variation is a modern European-influenced adaptation that became popular in the 2000s as St-Germain and elderflower cordials gained wide availability in the cocktail world. Its precise origin is disputed.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: fresh muddled lime, grassy and slightly funky cachaca, and the floral, honeyed scent of elderflower. Palate: vibrant and citrus-forward with the earthy cachaca spirit balanced by the aromatic sweetness of the elderflower cordial. Finish: clean, floral, and tart with a lingering lime zest.

Pro Tip

Muddle the lime aggressively in the glass to release both the juice and the aromatic oils from the peel, and pack the glass with crushed ice for the authentic Caipirinha presentation.
