Ginger Caipirinha Recipes

Steps:

• Add lime quarters, sugar, ginger, and ice to a mixing glass or cocktail shaker; muddle well.
• Fill an 8-ounce glass 3/4 full with crushed ice. Add the cachaca.
• Pour the muddled mixture into glass with cachaca. Stir well to make sure sugar dissolves completely. Garnish with sugar cane stick.

Steps:

• Divide tangerines or small oranges among 6 tumblers. Add 2 teaspoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon grated peeled ginger to each glass. Crush the ingredients in the bottom of the glass with a muddler or handle of a wooden spoon. Top each drink with 2 tablespoons tangerine juice and 1/4 cup cachaa (Brazilian sugarcane liquor) or vodka. Fill glasses with ice cubes, stir, and serve.

Steps:

• Place 2 ginger slices and 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar in each of 12 tumblers. Use a muddler to mash ginger. Add a quartered lime to each; crush with muddler. Fill glasses with coarsely crushed ice, add a scant 1/4 cup cachaca to each, and stir well. Squeeze lime wedges into glasses and serve.

Steps:

• Put the lime wedges in a large jug with the sugar, then use a muddler or the end of a rolling pin to break them down. Release as much juice from the wedges as possible, and let it mix with the sugar to create a syrup - you can also do this with a large pestle and mortar. Discard the lime peel.
• Divide the syrup and cachaça between four glasses, then top with the crushed ice. Serve garnished with lime wedges, if you like.

Steps:

• PPlace strawberries, mint leaves, lime, and ginger in a cocktail shaker; sprinkle with sugar. Muddle mixture until strawberries are almost pureed. Add ice and vodka and shake until mixture is cold and outside of shaker is frosty, about 30 seconds. Pour into a Collins glass and garnish with mint sprig.

Steps:

• Muddle the 2 Tables of Sugar, Fresh Lime and Crushed Ice.
• After this, add the slice of fresh ginger. Muddle some more -- but do not break ginger.
• Add more ice and Rum.
• Shake.
• Serve.
