Caipiroska

The Caipiroska is a light and bright cocktail that takes a vodka twist on the Brazilian classic Caipirinha. Made with muddled limes and sugar and vodka, the result is a refreshing cocktail sure to quench your thirst and treat your tastebuds.

The Caipirinha is made with cachaça, a spirit similar to rum, while the Caipiroska uses vodka. This swap creates a clean and more straightforward drink tart, crisp, and just sweet enough.
