Perfect for the cozy season, meet this seasonal cocktail with a Brazilian twist!
The Caipirinha is Brazil’s national cocktail, so naturally, we were so excited to find a twist on this drink that is perfect for the season! With touches of fresh grated ginger and pumpkin puree, this seasonal version of the classic Caipirinha is delicious.
If you aren’t familiar with a caipirinha, it calls for cachaça, a popular distilled spirit from Brazil made from sugarcane. You should be able to find cachaça wherever hard alcohol is sold as it is not too hard to find.
