Welcome to the GND Recipes Library! The Caipirinha is Brazil's national cocktail, known for its punchy, rustic charm. By adding passion fruit (maracujá) to the classic muddle of limes and sugar, you create an explosion of tropical citrus flavor that pairs perfectly with the unique, grassy notes of Cachaça.

Recipe Details

• Prep Time: 4 Minutes

• Servings: 1 Drink

• Difficulty: Medium

Ingredients

• 2 oz Cachaça (Brazilian sugarcane spirit)

• 1/2 Fresh lime, cut into small wedges

• 2 tsp Superfine sugar (or simple syrup)

• 1 oz Passion fruit pulp or puree

• Crushed ice or small ice cubes

• GND Green Lime Slices for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Muddle: Place the fresh lime wedges and sugar into a sturdy rocks glass. Muddle them firmly to extract the lime juice and the essential oils from the skins.

2. Add flavor: Stir in the passion fruit pulp.

3. Ice & Spirit: Fill the glass to the brim with crushed ice, then pour the Cachaça over the top.

4. Mix: Stir vigorously from the bottom up to lift the sugar, lime, and passion fruit throughout the drink.

5. Garnish: Slide a dehydrated green lime slice into the edge of the glass for an elegant, aromatic finish.

💡 GND Pro-Tip: While the fresh limes inside the drink provide the sour juice, topping your Caipirinha with our dehydrated Green Lime Slices ensures a steady, intensely aromatic citrus scent with every single sip, enhancing the overall flavor experience. 👉 Shop GND Green Lime Slices
