Blue CapritaCocktail recipe
Rating
The Blue Caprita is a refreshing and citrusy cocktail that is perfect for summertime sipping. Originating in Brazil, this drink is a spin-off of the classic Caipirinha, but with an added twist of blue curaçao, giving it a vibrant blue color.
The combination of fresh lime juice, Cachaça (a Brazilian spirit made from sugarcane), and orange liqueur creates a balanced and slightly sweet flavor profile. The wedges of lime and pinch of sugar add a touch of brightness and sweetness, making it a well-rounded and delicious drink.
This cocktail is perfect for beach days, backyard BBQs, or any occasion that calls for a tropical and refreshing drink.

FAQ's
Why is the Blue Caprita shaken and not stirred?
Shaking the Blue Caprita rather than stirring helps to chill and dilute the cocktail more effectively. The vigorous shaking action also helps to fully integrate the Blue Curaçao with the Cachaça and lime juice, creating a seamless blend of flavors and a uniform, vibrant blue color throughout the drink.
What role does Blue Curaçao play in the Blue Caprita?
Blue Curaçao contributes the distinctive vibrant blue color to the Blue Caprita, making it visually striking. Flavor-wise, it adds a slight bitter orange taste that complements the tangy lime juice and the sweet and earthy notes of Cachaça, creating a well-balanced tropical flavor profile.
What are some creative ways to garnish the Blue Caprita?
For an elegant presentation, consider garnishing the Blue Caprita with a lime wheel or a spiraled lime peel on the rim of the glass. Adding a sprinkle of edible glitter or a sugar rim with blue-tinted sugar can also enhance the visual appeal and add a touch of sweetness to each sip.
What is the best glass to serve the Blue Caprita in?
The Blue Caprita is best served in a cocktail glass, as stated. This type of glass, also known as a martini glass, showcases the drink's vibrant color and makes it easy to sip. Its wide rim is also ideal for adding garnishes and incorporating a sugar rim if desired.
What occasions are most suitable for serving the Blue Caprita?
The Blue Caprita, with its striking appearance and tropical flavors, is perfect for summer parties, beach get-togethers, or any festive occasion that calls for colorful and refreshing drinks. Its eye-catching color makes it a conversation starter and adds to the celebratory vibe of special events.
