ContemporaryClassic IBA

Caipirinha是IBA认证的当代经典鸡尾酒,也是巴西的国家鸡尾酒,以cachaça——巴西甘蔗烈酒——为基础,直接在old-fashioned杯中与新鲜青柠和糖一起捣碎制作。酒精度20.35%,是一款口感强劲、风味浓郁的鸡尾酒,展现了cachaça独特的草木风味和新鲜青柠的明亮酸味。配方简单却蕴含丰富的层次感。

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.
