Jalapeño Caipirinha Cocktail image

The caipirinha is a perfect summer cocktail - full flavored Brazilian sugarcane rum (cachaca), cut by zesty lime and sweet sugar. This version uses muddled jalapeño. At first sip, you get sweetness and light, but then a warming rush of the chili pepper comes in like a burst of tropical sun. Served at Brasserio Caviar and Banana in NYC.

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2-3/4 lime, quartered
1/2 fresh jalapeno, seeded
1 tablespoon sugar
3 ounces cachaca (sugarcane rum)

Steps:

  • In a highball glass, muddle the jalapeño pepper with the sugar and lime. The jalapeño seeds may be added back in to taste, but will make the cocktail hotter. Fill the glass with ice, then fill the glass with cachaca, and stir up from the bottom or shake to mix.
  • Here's how you "muddle" ingredients for a cocktail:.
  • Place ingredients into an old fashioned glass, small bowl or mixing glass.
  • If using the glass, wrap a towel around it, in case it breaks.
  • Using a wooden muddler or back of a spoon, crush ingredients against the sides and bottom.
  • Mix so all ingredients are well married.
  • Prepare your cocktail.
  • Tips:
  • A mortar and pestle may be used when making a lot of drinks.
  • Always use the freshest ingredients.
  • Wood will not scratch your glass.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh jalapeños. If you can't find fresh jalapeños, you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon of dried jalapeño powder.
  • Be sure to remove the seeds and ribs from the jalapeños before using them. This will help to reduce the heat of the peppers.
  • If you like your caipirinhas sweet, you can add a little bit of sugar or simple syrup to taste.
  • Garnish your caipirinhas with a lime wedge and a sprig of mint.

Conclusion:

The jalapeño caipirinha is a refreshing and flavorful cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a new cocktail to try, give the jalapeño caipirinha a try. You won't be disappointed!
