Red currant Caipirinha
Caipirinha is one of the tastiest and simplest cocktail recipes in the world!! With a zest from the lime, a light sweetness, and a good dash of vodka. And to give it an extra boost, I added some fresh red berries.

Ingredients you need per step are listed below the step in Italic

Red currant caipirinha
- Put ice cubes, lime parts, confectioner's sugar, and red currants into a cocktail shaker.
- Add the Cachcaça (or Vodka) to the shaker.
- Put a sieve and a lid on the shaker and shake for 1 minute.
- Pour the Caipirinha through the sieve into the glas.
- Garnish with ice cubes (optional) and some lime.
NOTES
- A Caipirinha doesn't need an extra flavor, but if you want to, you can also use strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries instead of red currants.
- Take the red currants easily off the stems with a fork. Take the stems between the tines of a fork and put it upside down. The currants will loosen quite easily.
- Keep your hand on the lid while shaking, You don't want the cocktail splash on your walls.
- Pour the Caipirinha through a sieve into the glass. You don't want to thin it with ice, just cool it.
- A real Caipirinha uses Cachaça as a liqueur. But if you don't have that, you can also use Vodka or Rum.
