LEOPARD’S LEAP CAIPIRINHA

We are very excited about next week’s Portuguese cooking classes hosted by J’Something and in anticipation, we have introduced the Caipirinha wine cocktail!

If you want to get technical, yes, the Caipirinha is Brazil’s ‘national’ drink, but the official language of Brazil is Portuguese. See! It is all quite clear!

Enjoy!

Leopard’s Leap Caipirinha

Serves 1 (but do make more…)

Ingredients

  • 1 lime, quartered and squashed
  • 15 ml castor sugar
  • 5 ml freshly grated ginger
  • 15 ml white rum
  • 125 ml Leopard’s Leap Chenin Blanc
  • 4 – 5 fresh mint leaves
  • 125 ml ice
  • Soda-water for topping up, if desired

Method

  • Combine the lime, sugar and ginger in a cocktail shaker and muddle with a spoon to release the lime juice.
