Food and cocktail pairings
Caipirinha, originally from Brazil, is a cocktail made with cachaça, lime and sugar that evokes sunny, tropical flavors. It goes wonderfully well with traditional Brazilian dishes such as feijoada, a stew of black beans and pork or beef, or grilled marinated meat. For a lighter option, try it with exotic fruit salads, grilled chicken skewers or chicken empadas. Caipirinha is ideal for summer evenings or outdoor events, where its authentic, refreshing taste is reminiscent of Brazilian beaches.
