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

Citrus Refreshing

Caipirissima é a versão à base de rum da Caipirinha, substituindo a cachaça por rum branco e mantendo a mesma fórmula simples de pedaços de limão socados com açúcar. Com 10,4% ABV, é uma bebida mais leve e acessível que o original, com a doçura limpa característica do rum branco caribenho no lugar do caráter vigoroso e herbáceo da cachaça. O limão fresco continua sendo a estrela, tornando este um coquetel cítrico brilhante e 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.
