Make the perfect Brazilian caipirinha


Edson Ludwig of Porto do Sul in Overland Park gives pro tips in how to make a Brazilian caipirinha. Some bartenders are taking liberty with the country’s national cocktail, which is fine, unless you mess with the muddle. Story by Jill Silva. Video by Tammy Ljungblad/The Star.

  1. Only halfly executed proper.
    Dont cut away the skin. This is where you get a lot of aroma and flavour…
    if you want to reduce the bitternes first cut the peel away thinly without the piff to use the peel.
    then remove the piff of the lime itself….
    By leaving the piff on the outside as shown you actually get much more bitterness than with peel on….that step was kind of useless this way

  2. I'm looking for the recipe for this
    how much sugar should i be actually using… I see 1.5 teaspoons and other measurements

    it would really help me out to know exactly how much

  3. You remove all the white stuff from the middle of the lime, after cutting off the ends and then cutting it N-S, but not all the white stuff below the thick green skin. Why not if they are the same stuff with the same effect of reducing sweetness?

  4. just discovered a huge mistake in this video, that confused me, when i first saw this vid some years go and tried to make this drink the same way!!
    at 1:49 there is a cut that shows the shaker just after muddling and then a closeup to it, pretending that was the result of the muddling… but it isn't

  5. Two questions: I have heard they should be mixed, not shaken, to be "correct" in Brazil. But then again, my firned bought them from vendors on Brazilian beach areas and they were all shaken? Also, why did he leave the white on the outside of skin and remove most of skin. But then again, my firned said the ones made on the beaches had some skin removed to, Is it not less flavorful if you remove most skin?? I find the quality of tastes highly varies with the brand of Cachaca. Some taste like solvent.
