Equipment

  • Equipment Needed:
  • Muddler or a sturdy spoon
  • Glass (rocks or highball)
  • Measuring jigger
  • Cocktail shaker (optional)
  • Strainer (if using a shaker)

Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients
  • 2 oz cachaça or vodka as a substitute
  • 1 medium lime cut into wedges
  • 5-6 fresh cherries pitted and halved, plus extra for garnish
  • 2 teaspoons sugar or agave syrup for a healthier option
  • Ice cubes
  • Mint leaves optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Step-by-Step Instructions
  • Muddle the Ingredients: In a glass, add the lime wedges and sugar (or agave syrup). Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press the lime to release its juice and mix it with the sugar. This process helps dissolve the sugar and infuse the lime flavor.
  • Add the Cherries: Toss in the halved cherries and muddle them gently with the lime mixture. You want to break them down slightly to release their juices but not turn them into mush.
  • Fill with Ice: Add ice cubes to the glass, filling it about three-quarters full.
  • Pour the Cachaça: Measure and pour the cachaça (or vodka) over the ice. Stir gently to combine the flavors.
  • Garnish: If desired, garnish your Cherry Caipirinha with fresh mint leaves and a few whole cherries on top.
  • Enjoy: Sip and enjoy your refreshing Cherry Caipirinha!
  • Variations
  • Berry Twist: Substitute cherries with other berries like strawberries or raspberries for a different flavor.
  • Herbal Infusion: Add fresh basil or mint while muddling for an herbal twist.
  • Frozen Delight: Blend the ingredients with ice for a frozen Cherry Caipirinha.
