In Brazil, the Caipirinha is very popular. You can buy the drink in any bar, on the beach or just in a crowded place. Thanks to Craftails , it can even be tasted as far away as Belgium. With a tasty, fruity twist: white peach, or white peach.
Where does the White Peach Caipirinha come from?
To create a white peach version of the Caipirinha, the Caipirinha itself first had to be discovered. For this discovery, we return to the 1800s. In Brazil around that time, "Garapa" was a very popular drink, a mixture of water and sugar cane. On special occasions it was allowed to be a little more. Fruit juices and spices were added to the Garapa and not much later the Batidas was born, a summer cocktail. The most famous Batidas is the Batida De Limão. This traditional Brazilian cocktail usually consists of a mix of Cachaça, fruit juice, sugar, water or cream. The drink was the precursor to the White Peach Caipirinha.
Over time, slices of lime were added to the Batida De Limão. The zest gives the original flavor to the Caipirinha.
The Brazilian countryside
A popular Brazilian cocktail like this needs an appropriate Brazilian name. Caipirinha, but what exactly does it mean? The word caipirinha is the diminutive of the word "caipira," which in Brazilian-Portuguese refers to someone from the countryside. More specifically, someone from the rural parts of south-central Brazil.
Dangerously delicious
The drink used to make the Caipirinha is Cachaça: a Brazilian rum. This traditional rum differs from the rum we know; in fact, cachaça is the precursor to rum. Cachaça is made from freshly squeezed sugar cane juice while the main ingredient in rum is molasses, a residual product of sugar production. The alcohol content is between 38% and 48% for cachaça and is only made in Brazil. Rum has an alcohol volume between 40% and 60%.
A Caipirinha is often combined with different fruits. Usually these are seasonal such as mango, raspberry or strawberry. Craftails provides another original combination: one with white peach. White peaches are sweet and aromatic which makes these the perfect fruits to add to the Caipirinha. The cocktail drinks like lemonade. This makes this drink dangerously leaky for the light weights among us. You have been warned ;).
The White Peach Caipirinha is an extremely suitable drink for any menu. Especially now that the sunny weather is coming and the terraces are open again.
