    Strawberries and Cream Caipirinha Cocktail - Andrea Meyers

    The caipirinha cocktail, a Brazilian concoction made with cachaça, was one of our favorites from last summer, and we planned to play around with the flavors a bit using different fruits. Strawberries were an obvious place to start, and we came up with this one that reminds me of a strawberry creamsicle. My friend Kristy Bernardo hosted a Memorial Day bash at her house and invited everyone to bring their favorite cocktails and share, so we lugged all the strawberries, booze, whipped cream, muddler, shaker, and our huge pot of mint (Michael did it as a joke) over to Chez Bernardo, and Michael played bartender.

    There are several layers of flavor in this drink: strawberries, lime, mint, cachaça, and whipped cream. You just muddle the strawberries, lime, and mint, then add the cachaça and ice and top off with a large shot of canned whipped cream. Shake it all up and you’ve got a sweet fruity drink to kick off the summer.

    Recipe Notes

    Some brands of cachaça may or may not be gluten free. Make sure to contact the company to verify.
