Love when people outside Brazil try this perfect cocktail. I've been making caipirinhas for more than 10 years, and even knowing several different cocktails I always end up in a caipirinha. A couple things: I don't know why every cocktail channel stir caipirinhas, this is definitely not how Brazilians do the traditional (all capirinhas here are usually shaken with a lot of ice, and them you dump everything on the cup). The mix of small shards and bigger cubes help the dilution happen while maintaining the cocktail cold. Demerara sugar really works perfectly with caipirinha, it's no the usual but enhances the flavor of the cachaça. The mimic is great, but what you can do to make even more Brazilian while mimicking a bramble: try to use açai liquor instead of creme de cassis (probably hard to find but it worth) We have several popular riffs of the caipirinha: Caipiroska (with vodka), Sakerinha (with Sake), Caipirissima (rum), Wine caipirinha. Usually each one uses different fruits in addition to lime juice (mainly orange, pineapple and strawberry. Also a couple local berries from Brazil, like Pitanga and Acerola)
The Mimic is just perfect. As a proper Brazilian, I had everything else at home. Just went for a quick buy for the Creme de Cassis. AMAZING, my friend. Cheers from Brazil.
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks Thank you, and cheers to you JF! These variations are def going on my 'To Try' list... And possibly a clarified 'Summer Fuel' too because it just sounds like a fun experiment 🥼😁
Shoutout for using Warrenghem's crème de cassis, that's my local distillery and they really make a f***ing great job at everything they do, i must enhance it.
So the general idea here is: Drop the sugar to 2tsp (10ml) Drop the Cachaça by 1/2 oz Add 1/2 oz of liqueur of choice, which brings the volume back up and because of the added sugar content means the drink is still balanced. I really like both the ideas Jean-Félix has in here. I am however going to play a bit . Other liqueurs I have I'm interested in trying: Hibiscus, Strawberry (mostly to give me an excuse to add a dash of absinthe), Creme de Yvette (it's like a mix of violette, cassis, & mure), maybe even Chambord. Since my wife and I went through 3 bottles of Cachaça last summer I'm sure I'll have fun with both of these recipes and trying more.
I'll definitely have to try the caipirinha variations -- especially the one with creme de cassis, because, if it's anything like a Bramble, it should be terrific.
First, jealous of your weather! LOL! My part of the US hasn't had that much nice weather yet. I've been on the hunt for Cachaca but now I have to search a little harder, the fruity one sounds the best to me. Cheers!
Haha! Yeah apparently. I call them Groseilles in French. I guess the company itself didn’t make the difference cause it said black currants on the package. 🤷🏻
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks There's a new one for me. Groseilles. Cassis for alcohol is a much better choice. In the UK we make red currant jelly. Main uses. To accompany roast lamb, and the other is for cumberland sauce. One of those receipes we keep hidden from the rest of the world. The other use, another secret. You know us as les rosbifs. But British puddings we keep to ourselves. Check out summer pudding.

Love a caipirinha; that summer fuel variant will be something I have to try out some hot afternoon this spring
Hope you’ll dig it ! Cheers
Every time I watch your videos, I always get inspired to try something else with my spirits.
So nice to hear! Thanks!
Who else feel psycho when making crushed ice and LOVE IT?!
😂
People call me a psycho for crushing clear ice. I won’t stop though.
@@alexandreblracing HAHA! Love it!
my favorite cocktail !!!
Cheers!

Cheers from Brazil.
I'm so happy you liked it! Cheers my friend!
Love the b roll on this video! It made me feel like I was on a nice relaxing beach somewhere.
Thank you! 🌴 🍹🌊
Loved the mimic. I'm a Bramble guy and this just hit the spot today. 🍻
Awesome!
The variations sound awesome!
I'll try them both tonight
As a Brazilian I endorse this video, specially the when using brown sugar.
Super glad you do. Cheers
Great video! Thanks for this!! :)
My favorite cocktail! And first!
Cheers and cheers! :)

I watched your recipe of the Chaiquiri yesterday and this is my sign to make it today .... Off to the kitchen!
Oh cool! Love that Chai Daiquiri! Hope you will enjoy the Caipis too 😃
I see a cocktail that uses Creme de cassis, I hit the like button. Well, I usually do anyway, but harder this time. 👍
Haha! Appreciate the support man! Thanks.
Oh boy I just stocked up on cachaca
Gonna be great for the first warm day this year
The best refreshing drink indeed
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks try muddling a few kiwi pieces with the limes

Keep searching mate! It’s such a tasty addition to a home bar selection. Cheers and good luck
Where are you in Spain amigo ? I'm also living in Spain lately!
We’re now in San Sebastián
Damn the crisp cinematography is impressive for TH-cam. Also I'm pretty sure those are red currants haha
Thanks mate! Well you are probably right about the variety 😂 That said it said black currant on the package so…
I may have gotten a sunburn too. . . Shoveling the snow off my driveway😂
HAHAHA!!! Sorry ;)
One of each please!! 🖤
Go! 🎉🤩
Would like to try these with high quality Rum. I'm not a big fan of cachaca's funky taste.
Of course! That will work no doubt!
optimum!
Creativity aside, it's worth noting that "caipirinha" consists of cachaça, sugar, lemon, and ice. And that's it. It's even a law in Brazil.
Engagement.
The garnish was redcurrants not blackcurrents.

@@Nickle314 I will ;)
TIL black currants actually look nothing like blackberries
I don't have a mallet so for crushed ice I just bang the bag against the counter. Probably alarming for anyone watching...
Hahahahah 😂😂😂
The guy is on something if the last garnish was blackcurrant
