The Elderflower Caipirinha is a modern twist on the classic Caipirinha, hailing from Brazil. It belongs to the Sour family, characterized by a base spirit, citrus juice, and a sweetener. The elderflower cordial adds a floral complexity, elevating the traditional rum-based sour.
The Elderflower Caipirinha is a delightful dance of sweet and tart. The cachaça’s earthy, sugarcane spirit mingles with the bright acidity of lime, creating a vibrant base. Elderflower cordial adds a delicate floral sweetness, balancing the sharpness and bringing an ethereal touch. It’s a refreshing, complex cocktail that’s both elegant and invigorating.
Muddle the lime aggressively to release the oils, don’t be shy! A good muddle is key to a balanced Caipirinha. Use a high-quality cachaça for best results. A little bit of elderflower cordial goes a long way, so start with a small amount and adjust to your liking. Serve it chilled and garnish with a lime wedge. Cheers!
