The margarita’s older brother
The caipirinha is a lime-based cocktail made with a uniquely Brazilian style of rum known as cachaça (kah-shah-sah), that is:
Refreshing like a margarita
Not too sweet, not too sour
Easy to make (3 ingredients)
Oh, and with 1/3 of the sugar.
AND it’s made from spirits made right here in Danville, KY.

whAT IS cachaÇA?
(KA-SHA-SA)
A caipi with-out cachaça isn’t a caipi.
The reason a caipi is as widely popular as it is, is because cachaça and limes were made for each other. Cachaça (a Brazilian white rum) is made from sugarcane, while most other rums are made from molasses.
This gives cachaça an earthy sweetness that is unlike any other type of rum and when combined with lime juice and sugar, it results in an exotic complexity that no other spirit could produce.
Like we said, a caipi without cachaça, is not a caipi.
