It is Pineapple Mint Caipi drink time today! I came up with the Frozen Pineapple Mint Caipi creation last summer while trying to create a drink with a different concept of the Caipirinha to increase sales of the Leblon Cachaca. I hoped to show the versatility of cachaca comparing two totally different drink conceptions, while selling the product in liquor stores. (more…)
The Strawberry Caipi is part of the Miss Caipi refreshing summer drinks. The red, juicy strawberry is in season now and it is a popular fruit that can be incorporated in a lot of ways in a cocktail.
Memorial Day weekend is coming and that means bbq and a summer drink! The long weekend is the ideal time to host a party, to not only celebrate the braveries of soldiers who have died for their country but to celebrate family and friends. Memorial Day gives that chance to relax and appreciate each other.
Cinco de Mayo seems like one of those days I spend the entire year waiting for. I have all these plans for this special day and BAM! here it is finally! I made a special Ginger Caipi to share with you all for this holiday.
Easter is a Holiday that makes remind me my childhood when I used to craft bunny masks to go egg hunting with my siblings… What a great family time!
Since Easter represents family, gratitude, faith and innocence to celebrate the holiday Miss Caipi created the “Bunny Caipi” a non alcoholic refreshing healthy drink made with organic carrots, fresh squeezed organic orange juice, covered with white melted chocolate for a final touch.
We all know St. Patrick’s Day is a day filled with much celebration and booze, but what is the reason for the grand festival? Well, St. Patrick is actually one of the most influential figures of his time. He was not born in Ireland, but rather enslaved there in his teens and then fled back home to Britain. This wasn’t the end of his journey, but rather the beginning as he sought to live a religious lifestyle by becoming an “Apostle to Ireland.” In Ireland, he fought to establish Catholicism and in 444 AD, his mission was accomplished.
To “spice” things up, I decided to create a Glogg Caipi. Being fascinated by the wonderful Swedish culture, of course I had to create a caipi inspired by the country’s traditional drink, Glogg. The Glogg is an original Swedish craft non alcoholic mulled wine that entails a warm, sweet, and spiced taste. It is usually consumed during the holiday season, for the cinnamon ingredient is the perfect fix for crafting this alcoholic beverage.
Apple cider is one of the easiest things to find during this time of year. That inspired me to create a drink using the apple cider and infuse it with cinnamon and using lemons I can find the right balance for the cocktail. Although most of my drinks are regular cold cocktails or a warm drink, this particular Caipi can be served as either. One of the most popular drinks of Miss Caipi’s Menu when it is prepared in the hot version. Perfect drink for a cold day, you can replace your wine for The Cider Caipi.
As you all may know, I create all of my caipis from natural ingredients. I use fresh fruit juice mixed with any three specific spirits that are the healthiest choices of alcoholic consumption. So with that being said, I am going to break down the most preferred caipi by consumers in the winter, the “Berries15” Caipi.
The Berries15 Caipi is a seasonal drink as it reflects the jubilance of the holidays mixed with the chilliness of the cold air. The key component of this caipi is the fresh muddled cranberries. Cranberries contain antioxidants and phytonutrients, for they contribute to maintaining long term health, if you cannot find the cranberries they can be replaced by cherries and also this drink can turn into a terrific punch bowl option drink to enjoy with friends. According to Organic Lifestyle Magazine (Cranberry Health Benefits), cranberries prevent breast, colon, prostate, and lung cancer, along with fighting urinary tract infections. Pomegranates are essential too, for Med-Health.net (Benefits of Pomegranates) states that the fruit helps build bone structure and contains potassium that helps to maintain cellular functions and balance fluid levels.

Since Valentine’s day is dedicated to embrace friendship and our loved ones, there is nothing better than celebrating with a personalized Valentine’s day cocktail. The XOXO Caipi is a personalized cocktail created for my sweet friend, Melissa Fiore.
Melissa is a very sweet girl and loves everything that are kisses & hugs themed. From bags, shoes, clothing… You name it, she has it! If you visit her blog, Melissa Fiore blog , and her instagram page, you can get a better idea of Melissa’s style.
This Caipi contains a low sugar content, which Melissa adores since she is a strict dieter and a lover of natural ingredients. The drink also has an organic strawberry mix. I used Sake according to her preference, orange liqueurs, and coconut water. It turned out really tasty. The XOXO Caipi can be done in a non alcoholic version too by replacing the orange liqueur for orange juice and eliminating the Sake. (more…)
