Caipirinha
Ordinary DrinkAlcoholicIBA: Contemporary Classics
The Caipirinha cocktail is a refreshing and tangy drink that evokes flavors of citrus and sweetness, with a hint of earthiness from the cachaça. To complement these flavors, snacks and bitings that are light, fresh, and have a balance of sweetness and tartness work well.
