Fruitty Caipirinhas

Let your imagination flow and your creativity take you beyond the classic lime
Caipirinha.
Add or replace lime with delicious tropical fruits and seasonal produce.
You can use about 2 oz (1/4 cup) of mango, passion fruit, kiwi, plum or grapes.
Add a dash of cinnamon to a strawberry Caipirinha or muddle fresh ginger with orange
if you like some spice.
Pineapple and mint...., the possibilities are endless!

What about a Caipirinha Tropical?!

2 oz of cachaça
2 wedges of limes
2 fresh strawberries, sliced
1/2 fresh passion fruit
1/2 kiwi, peeled and sliced
2 tea spoons of sugar or the equivalent in sweetener

Place all the fruits in a cocktail shaker, add sugar, (or sweetener),
and muddle gently.
Add ice, cachaça and shake well.
Serve with a stirrer in an old fashioned glass.

Cheers!
