Caipiroska - online puzzles

Caipiroska is similar to Caipirinha prepared with vodka instead of the usual cachaça. It is a very popular cocktail in Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina. It is also sometimes known as caipivodka and caipirodka. It has grown in popularity in recent years as access to international vodkas continues to diversify in South America.

Recipe

Although the "proper" way to make a caipiroska is a matter of quite varied opinion, the basic recipe requires:

60 ml (2.1 imp fl oz; 2.0 US fl oz) vodka

½ lime, cut into wedges

1 teaspoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon raw or turbinado sugar

Crushed ice.Use an old fashioned or highball glass.

Squeeze juice from lime wedges into the glass. Place one of the lime wedges into the glass and add sugars.

Muddle sugar with the lime wedges. Be careful not to overdo the muddling of the lime rind as it may introduce too much of the essential oils from the lime and make the drink too bitter. Pour in vodka and stir well until the sugar is dissolved.
