I’m getting a head start on my Summer Games Party planning with these authentic Brazilian drinks that will be perfect to serve at my Summer Games Opening Ceremony Cocktail Party! (see it here) I wanted to offer both an alcoholic (Caipirnha) and non-alcoholic (Brazilian Lemonade) drink option for my guests and these two recipes are perfect!
- Brazilian Lemonade:
- 3 Fresh limes
- 1/3 C. Sweetened condensed milk
- 1/3 C. Sugar
- 4 C. Cold water
- Brazilian Caipirinha:
- 1 Fresh lime
- 1 Tbsp. Sugar
- 1/4 C. Cachaca
Brazilian Lemonade:
Wash 3 fresh limes thoroughly, as you will be using the entire lime. Cut them into quarters and place in a blender. Add 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk, 1/3 cup sugar and 4 cups of water. Blend until smooth.
Pour the blended lime mixture through a strainer to remove all the lime skins, and into a pitcher. Press down with a spoon on the leftover lime skins in the strainer to squeeze out all the juice. Stir the lemonade in the pitcher.
Serve immediately. Pour the Brazilian Lemonade into a Mason Jar filled with crushed ice. Garnish the rim of the mason jar with a slice of lime and serve with a gold paper straw and International Flags Beverage Napkin.
Brazilian Caipirinha:
Cut 1 fresh lime into quarters and place in a glass. Add 1 Tbsp. of sugar, and using a wooden spoon or fork, press the sugar into the limes.
Add crushed ice to the glass then pour in 1/4 cup of Cachaca. Serve immediately. Garnish the rim of the Clear Stemless Wine Glass with a slice of lime and serve with a gold paper straw and International Flags Beverage Napkin.
