So last weekend my boyfriend and his love for cooking shows helped us make this delicious cocktail and it was the perfect drink for a hot summer night. He was watching Boys Weekend on Wealth TV and caught this drink recipe...definitely worth trying out. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!!RECIPE: Raspberry Caipirinha
INGREDIENTS:
Fresh raspberries - 2 punnets
Mint - 1/3 bunch
Cachaca - 150ml or more!
Lime - 4 limes
Soft brown sugar - 1/3 cup
Crushed ice - 4 heaped cups
- Cut the limes into quarters and pound them in a large jug with the soft brown sugar using a muddler or wooden rolling pin. The idea is to extract the oils from the zest and squeeze out the juice.
- Add the fresh raspberries and squash to extract juice.
- Add a generous amount of cachaca, bruise some mint leaves and toss into the jug
- Add the ice and a spritz of soda if required.
*Since we didn't have and cachaca in the house we substituted it with stoli vodka*
