Inspired by the summer, we gave the Brazilian cocktail par excellence a gin look: and here is Gin Caipirinha!

The Caipirinha it is a very popular and appreciated cocktail in Brazilian culture and is probably the first cocktail you will try when you set foot in Brazil.

Usually prepared with the national spirit, cachaça but the gin version of Caipirinha it is as good as the original! Try this easy recipe at home and you'll have just as much fun as we do!

Gin Caipirinha

• ½ lime, quartered
• 3 teaspoons of brown sugar
• 50 ml gin
• Lime wedge and / or mint sprig, for garnish

Start by cutting a lime in half lengthwise, then in quarters. Put two of your lime slices in a shaker with three teaspoons of brown sugar and mash. Add your gin, then the ice. Shake well, then open the shaker and pour everything into a rock glass (it is not necessary to filter!). Garnish and serve.
