Passion Fruit Caipirinha
5 from 2 ratings
“Brazil’s national cocktail, the caipirinha (pronounced ky-pee-REE-nya), is made with cachaça, sugar, and lime juice. Our recipe adds a touch of the tropics with passion fruit. The Caipirinha can be sipped at sultry summertime parties or during the cold winter months; its tropical flavors transcend all seasons. We used fresh passion fruit for this cocktail, but if you can’t find passion fruit, you can substitute a tropical fruit blend nectar.” — Vianney Rodriguez & Yvette Marquez-Sharpnack, authors of Latin Twist
