So, it’s finally all happening and we’re at the opening of the World Cup 2014, all holding our breath for the long awaited celebrations to finally kick off! I know it’s a Friday and I ought to behave, but hello, this is the World Cup man!! So, in true, authentic Brazilian style we are kicking off Taste Safari celebrations with a cool cat Caipirinha!! This is not for the faint hearted – but hey, I’m a Kenyan – so far from it ! So, in the spirit of things to come, a toast to the games – ‘O Brasil e lindo maravilhoso!!’ In translation for my global crew – OH BRAZIL – YOU ARE MARVELLOUS!
Serves 4
Caipirinha, is a hot little number – a classic now on any half decent Bartenders list. It’s secret weapon is the heart, soul, brain warming ‘ Cachaca,’ the Brazilian counterpart of rum that is traditionally made by fermenting cane juice. This drink is intensley sweet, but matched off nicely with the sourness of the limes – and that’s exactly why you can drink loads of it.
Make a couple of jugs of this if you have a crowd, trust me, if they are anything like my lot, they will be drained rather quick!!
