Method
How to make a Skye Bar Caipirinha

Serves 1 · Takes 3 minutes
Remove the core from half a lime and cut into three pieces
Place into a glass and add two bar spoons of sugar
Muddle gently
Add ice and top it with the cachaça
Stir well and serve
~ White cachaça should be used as aged cachaça does not match very well with lime as it brings out wood flavour profiles and does not match with the acidity of the lime. Do not muddle the lime too strongly as it will extract too much acidity. ~

FAQ's

INGREDIENT_SPECIFICS

What is Cachaça and how does it differ from rum?

Cachaça is a Brazilian distilled spirit made from fermented sugarcane juice, while most rums are made from molasses, a byproduct of sugar production. Cachaça has a fresher, more vegetal taste compared to the sweeter profile of rum, making it distinctive in cocktails like the Skye Bar Caipirinha.

PREPARATION_TECHNIQUES

Why is the Skye Bar Caipirinha stirred and not shaken?

Stirring the Skye Bar Caipirinha, instead of shaking, gently mixes the ingredients without diluting the drink too much or introducing too much air. This method preserves the dense, rich flavors of the lime and Cachaça, maintaining the cocktail's intended taste profile.

SERVING_SUGGESTIONS

What type of ice is best for serving the Skye Bar Caipirinha?

For the Skye Bar Caipirinha, using crushed ice is ideal. Crushed ice chills the drink quickly and allows for a slight dilution, which can make the drink more palatable, especially given its strong flavors and the fact that it's served in a whisky glass.

ALCOHOL_CONTENT_COMPARISON

How does the alcohol content of the Skye Bar Caipirinha compare to a classic Caipirinha?

The Skye Bar Caipirinha has a 20.69% alcohol content, which is within the typical range for a classic Caipirinha. However, alcohol content can vary slightly depending on the specific recipe and the amount of Cachaça used. Classic Caipirinhas might have slight variations in strength but generally hover around the same alcohol-by-volume (ABV) percentage.

GARNISHING_TIPS

What garnishes work well with the Skye Bar Caipirinha to enhance its flavor and presentation?

Adding a lime wheel or wedge on the rim of the whisky glass can enhance the visual appeal of the Skye Bar Caipirinha. Additionally, a sprig of fresh mint not only adds to the presentation but also complements the fresh lime and Cachaça flavors, offering a refreshing aroma with each sip.
