ContemporaryClassic IBA

Caipirinhaは、IBA公認のコンテンポラリークラシックであり、ブラジルの国民的カクテルです。ブラジルのサトウキビ蒸留酒cachaçaを使い、フレッシュライムと砂糖をオールドファッショングラスで直接ムドルして作ります。ABV 20.35%という力強いフレーバーのカクテルで、cachaçaが持つ独特の草っぽくファンキーな個性と、フレッシュライムの鮮やかな酸味が際立ちます。シンプルなレシピながら、その深いフレーバーは驚くほどです。

History & Origins

Caipirinha's origins in Brazil date back to the early 20th century, with the drink evolving from medicinal preparations combining cachaça, lime, garlic, and honey used to treat the Spanish flu. Over time, the garlic was dropped and sugar was added, creating the modern cocktail. The IBA recognized it as a Contemporary Classic, and it is now one of the most internationally recognized drinks associated with Brazilian culture.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh, zesty lime and the distinctive grassy, herbaceous character of cachaça, with a background sweetness from the muddled sugar. Palate: Bright and tart from the fresh lime, with the cachaça's complex, slightly funky sugarcane flavor providing depth and body; the sugar balances the acidity. Finish: Crisp, citrusy, and refreshing with a warm, lingering cachaça note.

Pro Tip

Muddle the lime wedges firmly with the sugar to extract both the juice and the bitter essential oils from the lime peel, which are crucial to the drink's authentic flavor.
