Want your wedding reception, engagement party or shower to be packed with as much fun as the streets of Spain this week after their World Cup win?!
Then look to the south, because Brazil’s national cocktail, the Caipirinha, will leave the flavor of fun in the mouths of all your wedding guests (age appropriate that is!) as well as help keep your beverage budget in check, so you can afford that amazing
honeymoon in Brazil to try the real thing!
A Caipirinha is a simple, sweet, and refreshing cocktail that is traditionally made with cachaça, a sugar cane based liquor that has recently gained popularity in the U.S. This drink can also be made with Vodka and other fruits.
You can create an entire Caipirinha bar, and try out vodka or other fruits. Why not even make the limes part of the decoration!?
