The Caipirinha, Brazil's national cocktail, originated as a local drink for elites in the sugarcane regions. It evolved from a medicinal tonic called 'garapa,' made with sugarcane juice. The addition of lime and cachaça transformed it into the Caipirinha we know today. The use of Steinhaeger in place of cachaça is a more recent variation, influenced by German immigration to Brazil, particularly in regions with strong German cultural presence.

Funzionalità Premium
Caipirinha de Steinhaeger offers a refreshing and complex flavor profile characterized by the tartness of lime, the herbal notes of Steinhaeger, and a touch of sweetness from sugar.
The key flavors are: **Lime:** Provides a strong citrusy and acidic backbone. **Steinhaeger:** This German spirit distilled from juniper berries adds herbal, slightly piney, and spicy notes, making it a bolder and more complex alternative to cachaça. **Sugar:** Balances the tartness of the lime and the intensity of the Steinhaeger. The drink is typically strong, with the alcohol content directly tied to the amount of Steinhaeger used.
Funzionalità Premium
Lime Selection
Use fresh, ripe limes with thin skins for the best juice and flavor. Avoid limes that are overly hard or have blemishes.
Sugar Type
While granulated sugar is commonly used, superfine sugar or even liquid sugar dissolves more easily and creates a smoother texture.
Steinhaeger Quality
Choose a high-quality Steinhaeger for the most refined flavor. Different brands will offer varying levels of herbal complexity, so experiment to find your preference.
Muddling Technique
Muddle the lime and sugar gently but firmly to release the lime's oils and juices without over-extracting the bitter pith. Use a muddler designed for this purpose.
Ice Matters
Use crushed ice to properly chill and dilute the drink. The ice will also integrate with the drink's flavors, helping deliver the balance of sweet, tart and aromatic experience.
