That is good too! And with a little bit of a soft drink called Coco Rico. But Don Q Cristal and Coco Rico is the best. So refreshing it’s almost sinful.
During the summer of 2011, I spent 2 weeks in Brazil on a study abroad trip with a research team in the Amazon. We spent the whole two weeks on a giant river boat; doing an ecological study. Our nights were spent drinking caipirinhas and eating local fish. Our boat staff had a bartender and our caipirinhas were 1 USD a piece... so we got trashed most nights. It was a phenomenal experience, and has enshrined the caipirinha as one of my all time favorites.
I'm from Brazil and agree 100% with you. Cachaça is wayyyyy better than vodka. A decade ago when you visit our country, the cachaça industry evolve a lot by them. Now theres some top shelf labels aged in so many types of wood barrels that is so smooth. Cheers Anders!

I was always under the impression that the vodka thing was started by tourists that wanted something "familiar"? and/or that it'd started because there were so many pretty bad cachaças that'd give you a terrible hangover..
Hey Anders, as a Brazilian I’d like to explain the whole Caipiroska thing! The most common and widely available labels of Cachaça are usually very low quality and have very unpleasant acetone and methanol notes to them! Thus, a lot of Brazilians don’t actually know good quality Cachaça and, well, low quality vodka is usually less offensive to the palate than its Brazilian counterpart! Normally, the best quality labels (that aren’t usually too expensive) are highly local and can’t get themselves into the shelves of supermarkets, requiring the knowledge and good will of going into specialised local products shops. That being said, it’s not too uncommon to come across another variation of the cocktail made with Cuban style rum. It’s called the Caipiríssima and it is also quite good!
Sakerina, Capirinha with Sake was very common in São Paulo some time ago, in a time people hated Gin, but people just stop asking it for some reason, and now is just GT's everywere. People dont know good cachaças because they are convinced that is better to pay 100 reais in a medium quality whiskey wich 50% of the price is import taxes and spends, than in a great cachaça made locally. Its not about the taste, its not about the access, its about to look fancy. Man think they are in a movie when they are chosing a whiskey, they think the bartender looks to him and think "thats a cool, rich and very masculine, what a man!". The same for cognac. But whiskey guys want to feel sophisticated and cognac guys wants to feel gangster. Some of them are.
I am also Brazilian and I approve this message. Although I would make a couple of caveats... First, the rum variation exists, but it's very uncommon. Second, a big part of caipirinha's popularity is exactly to mask the unpleasantness of low quality cachaça... so... caipiroska is mostly popular with people ordering it on restaurants and bars when the price difference is negligible.. otherwise you just make a cheap caipirinha in your party with the poor quality cachaça, if you're going for a low budget option... or you actually get a good cachaça and drink the real thing.
I was going to skip this video, because I’m from Brazil, and I was like “meh, I like this guy but I don’t wanna see people making caipirinha with Cachaça 51, it will bum me out”. I’M SO SURPRISED. Not only the recipe was perfect, he actually used a good quality cachaça. Thumbs up!
Lovely stuff as always, Anders. Brazilian bartender here, very proud that you got all the history spot on. I don't know if you've tried Brazil's #2 cocktail, the "Rabo de Galo", or literaly 'cocktail' in portuguese. It's 2oz Aged Cachaça, 3/4oz Sweet Vermouth, 3/4oz Cynar. Stirred, lime twist, served in a coupe. Sort of like a Brazilian Boulevardier from the 60s. Love your channel man!
I am a Brazilian and I love a good caipirinha. I have been following the channel for a few months and I am crazy for classics. I am glad you are making the caipirinha, thanks for the awesome content as always.
Hi Anders! All right? Dude, this is one of the best video recipes about "How To Make Caipirinha" in english version. Many details about how the Caipirinha born (talking about the first medicinal recipe) or how in Brazil u can aged the spiriti in diferente brazilian wood was amazing! Caipirinha is something soo tipical, thant every single brazilian have an uncle in the family who make "the best caipirinha". The only care for my in the recipe is try to not muddle the lemon peel, always try to do it gently. Great video bro! greetings from Caipirinha Land!!
Much like the old fashioned, the simplicity of the recipe means that the technical parts of mixing are that much more important. I’d say there’s just as much teaching value to a video like this as there is to a really complicated cocktail!
Here in Brasil now we are in 'high' demand for cocktails. So we've been drinking pretty much the same over there. Two of the most popular drinks now, besides of Caipirinha, is Negroni and Moskow Mule
If you like Negroni try making a Saturn. Its a staple of tiki bars and is a good gin based cocktail Ingredients: 1 ounce gin .5 ounce dark rum .5 ounce Campari .5 ounce sweet vermouth .5 ounce Falernum 1 ounce lemon juice .5 ounce orgeat .25 ounce passion fruit .13 ounce 2:1 evaporated cane simple Orgeat and falaernum are two specialty syrups used frequently in tiki cocktails, but you can substitute for them. Orgeat has a orange flower and almond flavor and falernum has a spicy horchata, almond, ginger and lime flavor. So replace the .5oz of each with some combo of a squeeze of lime, ginger beer, amaretto, grenadine, and orange juice. Method: conbine it all stir my man Strain Saturn over crushed ice. For extra fancy and alcoholic make a Kingston negroni and float it on top Kingston Negroni (dark rum, Campari, sweet vermouth) and float on top without mixing into drink. Garnish with an orange moon and slice of pineapple.
This Cachaça you are using is from my place nearby my city! You should come over and visit Morretes (the city where this cachaça is made) and taste the tradicional dish from here, Barreado it's the perfect combination for a good cachaça or a caipirinha!
Let's go!!! Brazil in the house hehehe great to see the story and you bringing our home drink to the channel! We love Caipirinha, actually I'll be making one right now! Nice haircut Anders! And cheers from Brazil 🇧🇷
The caipirinha has been my favorite cocktail for years now. It's also really tasty if you grind up demerara sugar and use that, and top it off with a splash of soda water. Really good with a little muddled cucumber or mint as well, if you want try some variation.
The weather in England is actually beautifully sunny and warm today (for once!) so I am extremely excited to make this one asap! Especially with all that sugar and crushed ice, wow. Also the haircut looks great! Happy Friday guys :)
Can't tell how anxious was I waiting for this video! I'm Brazilian, I love all kinds of cocktails, but Caipirinha is definitely my favourite. It is the face of Brazil, perfect for any day where there is a single sunshine hahaha! Really happy to see you and Az tasting it and showing tô the world! Cheers from Brazil!!!
Highly underrated cocktail. Had a heap of them on the street at carnivale and at bars on the coast. Youre right vodka was everywhere but it misses the flavour that cachaca brings.
ive drank my fair share of caipirinhas and 100% agree with the choice of aged cachaca, my favourite way to make a caipirinha at home is with o good amburana aged cachaca and honey instead of sugar, just cant get enough, loved the video and it is really nice seeing more brazilian cocktails,
I've got a picture taken exactly from that spot, from Olinda, overlooking it and then Recife's skyline on the horizon. It is one of the best photos I've ever taken.
This was the first cocktail I ever had. Could not have been happier as it mixed some of my favourite flavours together. Will have to try with an aged cachaça!
Awesome video Anders. Brazillian here. I´m following the channel for quite a while now and trying my best to prepare some of the cocktails. Happy to hear that you like Caipinha and Cachaça. And I agree 100% with you cachaça is truly the right spirit for this drink. Cheers!!!
The most accepted origin for the drink and its name is that people from countryside of São Paulo bring this way of drinking cachaça; with lemon, sugar and ice to the city of São Paulo (countryside people = Caipira, caipirinha would be little caipira). Love it. Great video !
While on our honeymoon in Positano, Italy my wife and I were introduced to the Caipiroska. There was a bar on the beach serving Caipiroska alla Fragola (Strawberry Caipiroska). They used brown sugar and muddled the strawberries with the lime. Definitely one of the most refreshing drinks I've had.
Decades ago I stumbled (not literally) onto a street fair in Newark, New Jersey. The Iron Bound district which houses many people of Portuguese and Brazilian descent. And several amazing restaurants. Anyway, the vendors at the street fair were making and selling caipirinhas. They did the muddling in a large stone mortar with a stone pestle. Just another tidbit on the drink.
Finally the Caipirinha *-* Thanks so much!! Try it with a little shot of brewed coffee, it is simply amazing!! And you are totally right about cachaça, it is one of the best and most tasteful spirits you can get, if you know what to buy. Love from Brazil, your channel is amazing
Thank you for not only showing us how to make cocktails but teaching history, backstory and foundations that make these cocktails so great! I always enjoy your videos!
I have lived in Brazil all my life. A caipirinha is refreshing and delicious, especially with a finer cachaça such as you used. You can vary the fruit. I really enjoy the drink using passion fruit too. The vodka-based caipirosca is also great.
For the record, the moment this video began my wife exclaimed "Haircut!" Lookin' sharp and pairing the new 'do with an outstanding cocktail. Thanks for all the great drinks thus far and those still to come ...
I remember when you came with this cocktail and I watched it but keep watching more ways to make it specially from Brazilians guys channels to see the difference and I always coming back to the one you make because seems to be the one I like the most thanks Anders.
There is a very traditional cocktail in Brazil named “Rabo de Galo” which is the literal translation of “cocktail”. It is made of cachaça and Campari. Sometimes it is added some Cynar. It is very old and served in small bars. It is not a fancy drink, but it has gaing some recognition nowadays by the new mixology trend.
There he is! That sexy, handsome bartender we all fell in love with early in the pandemic. You got us through this past two years one week/one video at a time but I’ve gotta tell you ….. as the weeks marched by, I missed that awesome haircut as I’m sure many of your fans did. Cheers to your barber! Keep up the great videos! And hugs to Az as we all love her, too!
I'm from Brazil, and I love the fact that you did this video; Caipirinha is really good, I love it. Thanks for including Brazil!! Also, make it with other fruits, it's delicious
As a Brazilian it is great to see this cocktail, actually I never heard the history of It! I agree that it is better with cachaça!! And thanks so much for using white sugar, in some places they use brown sugar, it changes the looks and nowhere in Brazil we use it. Give it a try to a cachaça sour, it goes very well too.
ok, this video made me realize that here in Rio Grande do Sul we drink it differently, It's the traditional drink for barbecues here, so if we're in family/with friends we actually use a BIG wooden cup (approximately 1L/~35oz) and everyone will drink from the same cup. Because of that and the colder clime we use around 2 limes for 600ml of cachaça and much less ICE, only in cubes also.
i think Caipirinhas are great because of how simple they are to make. with the warm weather starting to pick up in the UK, they've been saving me whilst at the bar i work at
I'm a brazilian and I learned a lot with you, so I got pretty excited when the notification came when you posted the video! I wanna share a little family recipe with you as well. My great-grandfather (according to my dad) would always use demerara sugar and muddle the lime ans sugar in a wooden morter and pestle (what we call a "pilão") that he used only for that, than he would throw everything in to a glass and add the cachaça. My dad said that he didn't used a specific cachaça, but I personally think that a oak aged cachaça is great in a caipirinha.
Hi Andrers! I'm Brazilian, and here in Brazil we make caipirinha a little bit more differently. We use the whole lime, and we also don't use crushed ice, but you can do it just the same. And the most common way nowadays is Capiroska, but we continue to use cachaça.
Hey Anders, you are correct! People started to call fruit cocktails as Caipirinha. So now there's is caipiroska, caipinha with wine, strawberry caipirinha, passion fruit capirinha and the list goes on and on. But the real OG caipirinha, and in my opinion the one and only, is lime with cachaça.
Holy smokes you look fresh with that new haircut, Anders!! You mentioned that rum episode and I gotta say, I am SO looking forward to that one! I just recently got into rums and tiki and it's such a great topic to explore! Cheers for a fine weekend 🍻
Hy, I’m one of your Brazilians fans. Excellent video. As a rule of thumb, people use very cheap cachaça to make caipirinha, that’s why some people prefers vodka. Sometimes is easier find good vodka than good cachaça in Brazilians bar. In my recipe, I don’t put sugar (with a good quality spirit, you don’t’ need it) and use small ice (not crush). Cheers
Love this! Will have to try one soon. Another drink that is so simple, but SO perfect to drink in the heat is a Paloma. I'd love to see an Anders' version of a Paloma, even if just in a list-style video! Cheers!
Today, September 13th is National Caipirinha Day. So I decided to try something different with this. I muddled half a lime with a barspoon of fine cane sugar, a quarter ounce of rich demerara syrup. I added 2 ounces of silver cachaca and 1/2 ounce of Mr. Black. I'm calling it Caferinha. My wife tasted it and said to keep it. 🙂 I'm happy with the way it came out!
Hey man, really like your videos! I’m a Brazilian living in Europe for a while, you would be extremely surprised how difficult is to find a DECENT Caipirinha in bars over here. Cheers!
A few years back during the summer, I came home and by bartender roommates (3 of the 4 were bartenders, good times) had made a pitcher of Caipirinhas. So great on a hot day.
Fortunately it’s changed a lot!! Cachaça is one of the most wonderful spirits and Brazilians are begging to recognize that! And it’s commonly made with ice cubes and white cachaça. It’s amazing anyway you though!
I was just having one of my favorites, the Moscow mule, when I saw the notification for this video. Definitely going to try the Caipirinha. Thx Anders.
When we were in Coast Rica we had a Guaipiranha at our hotel. Made with Cacique (local guaro) instead of the Caipirinha with Cachaça. Both are very good drinks. The guaro sour made with Cacique was good too.
I use this recipe as medicine for sore throat and colds to this day: Cachaça, limes and honey. About the caipiroska: that is true! I remember that 10 years ago people would prefer vodka to cachaça precisely because of that. But nowadays cachaça is more used and appreciated.
Great video and now I need to find some of this Novo Fogo! Typically, the only Cachaca we can find in our area is 51 or Leblon (preferred). Right or wrong, I also rim the glass with sugar which gives a nice, sweet touch to each sip. Also, learned from a native Brazilian to score the lime peel all around before slicing, to help extract more flavor during muddling. Cheers!
In the windward islands of the Caribbean, when this drink is made with Agricole Rum, it is called T'Punch. I had many, many of them on St Lucia. Also, before you slice the lime, roll it back and forth on the cutting board with the back of your hand, applying pressure. This breaks down the cells and releases 'mo juice, Mon.
My parents lived in São Paulo for a year and when they came back, they brought bottles (plural) of the Cachaça as well as two wooden muddlers. I have the last bottle and the muddlers. I think I'm going to have to make a Caipirinha tonight. It's been a while. Thanks for the fun video!
The other drink I enjoyed in Brazil was blended scotch (JW Black) with fresh coconut water. Who knew? 🥃🥥
That is good too! And with a little bit of a soft drink called Coco Rico. But Don Q Cristal and Coco Rico is the best. So refreshing it’s almost sinful.
Don’t know but would like. Any idea of the recipe ?
They're truly an enlightened people, can't wait for more from their culture!
Do you know the ratios of scotch to coconut water?
It’s delicious! Also, santo grau is a fantastic banana funky cachaca which is a party in your mouth. Chefs kiss*
During the summer of 2011, I spent 2 weeks in Brazil on a study abroad trip with a research team in the Amazon. We spent the whole two weeks on a giant river boat; doing an ecological study. Our nights were spent drinking caipirinhas and eating local fish. Our boat staff had a bartender and our caipirinhas were 1 USD a piece... so we got trashed most nights. It was a phenomenal experience, and has enshrined the caipirinha as one of my all time favorites.
Love this!
I'm from Brazil and agree 100% with you. Cachaça is wayyyyy better than vodka. A decade ago when you visit our country, the cachaça industry evolve a lot by them. Now theres some top shelf labels aged in so many types of wood barrels that is so smooth. Cheers Anders!
Time for me to return!

I was always under the impression that the vodka thing was started by tourists that wanted something "familiar"? and/or that it'd started because there were so many pretty bad cachaças that'd give you a terrible hangover..
Hey Anders, as a Brazilian I’d like to explain the whole Caipiroska thing! The most common and widely available labels of Cachaça are usually very low quality and have very unpleasant acetone and methanol notes to them! Thus, a lot of Brazilians don’t actually know good quality Cachaça and, well, low quality vodka is usually less offensive to the palate than its Brazilian counterpart! Normally, the best quality labels (that aren’t usually too expensive) are highly local and can’t get themselves into the shelves of supermarkets, requiring the knowledge and good will of going into specialised local products shops. That being said, it’s not too uncommon to come across another variation of the cocktail made with Cuban style rum. It’s called the Caipiríssima and it is also quite good!
The bar I worked on would serve tons of Sake-based caipirinha, we also served steinhaegger-based caipirinha.
51 and Velho Barreiro caipirinhas taste great tho
Salinas is the best supermarket cachaça and only my opinion matters.
Sakerina, Capirinha with Sake was very common in São Paulo some time ago, in a time people hated Gin, but people just stop asking it for some reason, and now is just GT's everywere.
People dont know good cachaças because they are convinced that is better to pay 100 reais in a medium quality whiskey wich 50% of the price is import taxes and spends, than in a great cachaça made locally.
Its not about the taste, its not about the access, its about to look fancy. Man think they are in a movie when they are chosing a whiskey, they think the bartender looks to him and think "thats a cool, rich and very masculine, what a man!". The same for cognac. But whiskey guys want to feel sophisticated and cognac guys wants to feel gangster. Some of them are.

There is also Saquerinha, using Sake instead of Cachaça. You can also swap Lime with Strawberry, Lichia or Passion fruit.
These simple cocktails especially with lime are my favorite.

My absolute FAVORITE summer cocktail. Well done my friend! Cheers! 🥃
Thanks, Vino! Such a good one. Cheers!!
agree, this drink is with cachaca. like any spirit you have a good cachaca which you should use and the cheap ones that you should avoid.
How timely! I was in DC last week and was reminded of how much I love this drink...just in time for summer!
ok, this video made me realize that here in Rio Grande do Sul we drink it differently, It's the traditional drink for barbecues here, so if we're in family/with friends we actually use a BIG wooden cup (approximately 1L/~35oz) and everyone will drink from the same cup. Because of that and the colder clime we use around 2 limes for 600ml of cachaça and much less ICE, only in cubes also.
Im Brazilian!
Im a fan of the channel.
BEST video ever! Thanks for this! 🍸🍹🧉
i think Caipirinhas are great because of how simple they are to make. with the warm weather starting to pick up in the UK, they've been saving me whilst at the bar i work at
We started mixing cachaça with a frozen margarita mix - calling it cachaçarita.... best ever... add a little ginger ale for taste
LOVE this drink!! So refreshing and takes me back to South America ❤️
Good to get reacquainted with my favorite marvelous duo. Hello from Norfolk, Virginia
Im brazillian and this is my favorite drink, you must use a good quality cachaça for this, the one you have looks awesome
Love your channel, cheers from Brazil, this drink is one that have to know how to do it with our eyes closed
I love the Caipirinha. It's sooooooo good and so easy to make.
I'm a brazilian and I learned a lot with you, so I got pretty excited when the notification came when you posted the video! I wanna share a little family recipe with you as well. My great-grandfather (according to my dad) would always use demerara sugar and muddle the lime ans sugar in a wooden morter and pestle (what we call a "pilão") that he used only for that, than he would throw everything in to a glass and add the cachaça. My dad said that he didn't used a specific cachaça, but I personally think that a oak aged cachaça is great in a caipirinha.
Your videos show me that I need to broaden my horizons. I haven't heard of Cachaça before this.
Hi Andrers! I'm Brazilian, and here in Brazil we make caipirinha a little bit more differently.
We use the whole lime, and we also don't use crushed ice, but you can do it just the same. And the most common way nowadays is Capiroska, but we continue to use cachaça.
What a great cocktail to enjoy during summer.
Perfect for hot days!
Spirit+Citrus+sweet part=best cocktails, eazy, fresh, delicious, for any kind of taste
Hey Anders, you are correct! People started to call fruit cocktails as Caipirinha. So now there's is caipiroska, caipinha with wine, strawberry caipirinha, passion fruit capirinha and the list goes on and on.
But the real OG caipirinha, and in my opinion the one and only, is lime with cachaça.
Holy smokes you look fresh with that new haircut, Anders!! You mentioned that rum episode and I gotta say, I am SO looking forward to that one! I just recently got into rums and tiki and it's such a great topic to explore! Cheers for a fine weekend 🍻
Cheers, Dimitar! The rum episode will be a fun one - so much to cover. Now you've got me thinking tiki 🤔
I'm actually visiting Brazil right now so I might add that to my repertoire.
Hy, I’m one of your Brazilians fans. Excellent video. As a rule of thumb, people use very cheap cachaça to make caipirinha, that’s why some people prefers vodka. Sometimes is easier find good vodka than good cachaça in Brazilians bar. In my recipe, I don’t put sugar (with a good quality spirit, you don’t’ need it) and use small ice (not crush). Cheers
That sounds good too. Cheers!
My go-to cocktail whenever I travel.
Love this! Will have to try one soon. Another drink that is so simple, but SO perfect to drink in the heat is a Paloma. I'd love to see an Anders' version of a Paloma, even if just in a list-style video! Cheers!
Today, September 13th is National Caipirinha Day. So I decided to try something different with this.
I muddled half a lime with a barspoon of fine cane sugar, a quarter ounce of rich demerara syrup. I added 2 ounces of silver cachaca and 1/2 ounce of Mr. Black. I'm calling it Caferinha. My wife tasted it and said to keep it. 🙂 I'm happy with the way it came out!
You are right Anders!! Caipirinha must be with cachaça!!
Your cocktails are always so pretty.
Hey man, really like your videos! I’m a Brazilian living in Europe for a while, you would be extremely surprised how difficult is to find a DECENT Caipirinha in bars over here. Cheers!
I was waiting for this episode, I’m from Brazil and I love your videos
A few years back during the summer, I came home and by bartender roommates (3 of the 4 were bartenders, good times) had made a pitcher of Caipirinhas. So great on a hot day.
Glad to hear there's a rum video on it's way somewhere in the future :) Cheers!
Production quality is off the chart! Keep up the great work
Hairstyle looks wonderful!! Looks like a wonderful refreshing drink
Fortunately it’s changed a lot!! Cachaça is one of the most wonderful spirits and Brazilians are begging to recognize that! And it’s commonly made with ice cubes and white cachaça. It’s amazing anyway you though!
I was just having one of my favorites, the Moscow mule, when I saw the notification for this video. Definitely going to try the Caipirinha. Thx Anders.
When we were in Coast Rica we had a Guaipiranha at our hotel. Made with Cacique (local guaro) instead of the Caipirinha with Cachaça. Both are very good drinks. The guaro sour made with Cacique was good too.
I use this recipe as medicine for sore throat and colds to this day: Cachaça, limes and honey. About the caipiroska: that is true! I remember that 10 years ago people would prefer vodka to cachaça precisely because of that. But nowadays cachaça is more used and appreciated.
I love this cocktail so thanks for suggesting aged cahaça. Now I have to find some to purchase!
Had this cocktail in the Yucatan. So good!
It's so similar to the Ti' Punch, I guess that combination of cane spirit, sugar and lime just tastes damn good.
Another delicious drink! Your right - winning combinations.
Great video and now I need to find some of this Novo Fogo! Typically, the only Cachaca we can find in our area is 51 or Leblon (preferred). Right or wrong, I also rim the glass with sugar which gives a nice, sweet touch to each sip. Also, learned from a native Brazilian to score the lime peel all around before slicing, to help extract more flavor during muddling. Cheers!
In the windward islands of the Caribbean, when this drink is made with Agricole Rum, it is called T'Punch. I had many, many of them on St Lucia. Also, before you slice the lime, roll it back and forth on the cutting board with the back of your hand, applying pressure. This breaks down the cells and releases 'mo juice, Mon.
Love it. Cheers, Robert!
I know I'm late here but I can't believe you made it to Recife! I grew up there and this have made me an even bigger fan!
one of my favorite cocktails. I haven't noticed a grassy quality rather I get a slightly sweet and smoky flavor.
I just met a new bartender in Iceland and I was telling him about your channel and he told me he watches your channel all the time!
You are so swedish, I love it!
just one of the best drinks in the world and also one of the simplest to make. if you never tried, please do.
My parents lived in São Paulo for a year and when they came back, they brought bottles (plural) of the Cachaça as well as two wooden muddlers. I have the last bottle and the muddlers. I think I'm going to have to make a Caipirinha tonight. It's been a while. Thanks for the fun video!
That sounds like a good Friday evening to me! Cheers!
Chris taught me about the caipirinha years ago, and I love it!! I bought him a muddler specifically to make this drink!
Love this! Hope Chris made one for you this past weekend 😉
daora ver que tem mais brasileiros que vêem esse canal! hahahah
Nice to see that there are a lot of fellow brazilians here on the channel!
