Sparkling Pomegranate Caipirinha
Serious Mealtimes / Elana Lepkowski
I consider myself a pretty knowledgeable person when it comes to cocktails. And yet a few years ago I was too intimidated to order a Caipirinha. The problem was the name. My own name is mispronounced about 60% of the time—you’re probably mispronouncing it right now—so I just hate not knowing how to pronounce a drink’s name correctly.
However you say it (kye-peer-EEN-yah shall we practice?) the Caipirinha is delicious. It’s worth making a fool of yourself in front of a bartender for. It’s a bit like a classic Daiquiri except it calls for cane-juice cachaça instead of rum and lime wedges instead of just the juice. Those trade-offs give the drink an earthy husky character that’s an intriguing departure from the clear smooth Daiquiri.
