To burn it off
A caipirinha is cachaça, lime and sugar, muddled in the glass and topped up with ice. Cachaça is Brazil's own spirit, distilled from fresh sugarcane juice rather than molasses like most rum.
A glass is 230 kcal, with 24 g of carbs, all of it sugar. The rest is the alcohol, there's no fat or protein.
Swap the cachaça for vodka and it becomes a caipiroska. The sugar and the size of the pour are what move the number.
Tips
- 1Ask for less sugar, the lime holds up fine.
- 2Drink a glass of water between rounds.
- 3Order the small glass, a big one is just a double.
