Cointreau based Caipirinha:

This is my drink...

Sweat, sour, and strong. It’s a little mess to prepare but a nice (ever important) show when you have company...

So how do you prepare my Cointreau based Caipirinha?

Well, you’ll need Cointreau – a premium orange liqueur. Using a cheaper orange liqueur works but there’s nothing like the original.
You’ll also need a lemon, and two spoons of sugar, and of course ice.

Here’s what you do:
Cut the lemon into cubes about 1 by 1 cm and through in a lowball glass. Add the sugar on top.
Using a shot glass, crush the lemon until in makes a bit mess (takes about 30 seconds).

Pour the mess in a shaker, add the ice and a shot of Cointreau.

Shake, shake, shake…

Pour back in the lowball glass.

Add a slice of lemon/orange.

CHEERS!!!
