I have a website http://www.brazilgourmet.com that I make a Caipirinha drink using my brazil gourmet product.
Passion Fruit Caipirinhas
A favorite in Brazil
Ingredients:
3oz Brazil Gourmet Passion Fruit nectar
1 ½ oz cachaca (may substitute vodka)
2 teaspoons superfine granulated sugar
¼ fresh lime, cut into 4 pieces
Put lime wedges and sugar in a short 8oz glass and mash by pounding and pressing with a wooden spoon until the sugar is dissolved. Fill glass to the top with small ice cubes. Add passion fruit nectar and cachaca. Stir well.

1 serving

Thought you would like to try this one!

Cheryl

Unfortunately I didn’t tried all of this cachaças – here in Dubai we will hopefully soon have Agua Luca which taste very good (traditional green cane aromas but refined finish through the 9 times filtering) – Germana cachaça we do have as well – but I think there is a bit too much of oak in – and oak has nothing to do in a traditional cachaça (as artisan distiller are using domestic Brazilian wood).
And I don’t want to talk about the Cachaça 51 which is the only regular available cachaça here…

Most are very poor quality and some of the new ones are just poor quality in fancier bottles. Mae de Ouro is a good traditional tasting cachaca. The best premium one i’ve found is Cabana. It’s the most expensive, but is definitely the easiest to mix and makes for a wonderful caipirinha. My wife and I had a Leblon Caipirinha at Felix in NYC a while back and couldn’t even finish it. Very rough and the smell was overbearing.

Mostly I can only find the cheaper cachaças, like Pitu and 51. Leblon is common enough though, given their marketing dollars. But the others have taken me months and visits to 20 different stores.
