    A taste of Brazilian Barbecue at Meat Market Steakhouse

     During my visit to Palm Beach, I stopped by at one of  Meat Market Steakhouse‘s branch to check it out some of the Chef Sean’s new creations on their menu. For the ones that read my last year post, “Meat Market for Dinner tonight”, already know Meat Market and Chef Sean Brasel has the best to offer. The great hospitality and delicious food provided it is definitely something I would like to experience all the time and that’s probably why makes me coming back. With different locations spread around the country, at this time I went to visit the Meat Market Palm Beach,  awarded as one of the 10 best restaurants in town by US Today.

    The Palm beach branch has a different environment than the one in Miami beach, especially on Thursdays nights when They have a DJ coming after 11 turning the place into a big dance floor, transforming from a restaurant to a lounge/club scene with guests dancing and mingling all over the place. It is definitely worth to check it out but if you are planning on having a full dinner course, make sure to get there before the party starts to have enough time to enjoy your meal and party afterward.

    How To Make a Mr. Nono Caipi Cocktail

    I am so happy to finally be able to share the recipe, Miss Caipi, created for the Mr. Nono Cocktail. I already introduced the recipe during the “Give To Receive” Pop Shop Event during the holidays. The name Mr. Nono,  it is the name of a character introduced on the Blog post ” What Is It to Be a Cool Girl”, people really loved the funny name!

    I might come out of other versions of this drink using the same name, maybe different fruits depend on the season and the circumstances of the Event. The drink was mixed under the Mr. Nono mood, mysterious and not sweet at all. I used angostura bitters, lemon juice and a splash of orange juice and a touch of honey to balance all the ingredients. It can be mixed with Sake, Vodka or even bourbon. If you are not the type that like sweet drinks, this one will suit you perfectly. Let’s learn how to make a Mr. Nono Caipi! (more…)

    How to use Cocktail Crate Ginger Bee Mixer

    I’m starting to use pre-made natural Cocktail mixers I can find in the local supermarkets or online to create my Caipis (Brazilian Cocktails). Since Miss Caipi is all about finding ways to make simple and natural drinks  that you can easily create on your own, I am starting to look for cocktail mixers in local stores like Wholefoods, or online to test, witch has a huge growing market right now. I think the biggest challenge for us, consumers, is that we never know how these products will taste and I am here to solve this problem. At least in the products I get a chance to taste and test  I can certainly share my honest opinion with you. (more…)

    Hotel Chantelle NY Brazilian Party

    For those who aren’t aware of the vibrant, Brazilian Party atmosphere that lives within the streets of  NYC, now is perfect time to expand outside the ordinary. Since the Rio 2016 Olympics kicked off , I have decided to go on a tour throughout New York City to try some unique Brazilian foods and cocktails that go along with the fun festivities. These are the recommendations that have won gold in my book.

    My first stop was with the Sarau Brazilian Party at the Hotel Chantelle in the LES. It was such a hidden gem! Hotel Chantelle is a parisian style restaurant and bar; It offers an exclusive rooftop lounge area where the Sarau Party kicks off every Sunday during the summer and once a month after the season.

    Mixing Beauty and Fashion Cocktails

    A couple weeks ago, I had the opportunity to display and serve the drink  I created for Grand Central Beauty, The “Grand Central Beauty Caipi”, they could have their signature cocktail to be served during a meet-and-greet pop-up event in Brooklyn. And, everyone loved the fresh and cooling taste of it! As Miss Caipi, I create signature cocktails for companies, so they can have their personalized cocktail using in their parties, Events or as a type of brand identity for their business.

    Miss Caipi, as you noticed always wear her yellow looks wherever she passes around sharing her Brazilian happiness and cocktails. For this Event she was wearing a yellow romper paired with a rockbox blue necklace and carrying  her satchel yellow bag with all her mixology tools.

    Celebrate the 4th of July With the Ginger Caipi

    Celebrating July 4th with the Ginger Caipi! The celebration, the fireworks, and not to mention it’s a nice break from work during the hottest time of the year.

    Independence day in Brazil is right after the end of August, on September 7th. But even though it’s in the fall months of the year, Brazil still gets pretty hot around that time much. Like in New York City, people gather in parades on the streets of Rio de Janeiro and party during Independence Day. There’s always good food and music. I always cherished the time I could spend with my extended family. Here in New York City, I love watching the fireworks over the Hudson river and partying with my friends, sharing with them my favorite drink: The Ginger Caipi. You can make the Ginger Caipi too, by following my easy steps.

    Since I’m Brazilian I wanted to keep my culture alive with this drink so I used Cachaca but you can chose either Vodka or Sake to attain the same taste. I have mixed together the tanginess of lemon with the sweetness of the agave nectar light for a healthy and flavorful drink. I know a lot of people who dislike ginger, but the lemon and agave nectar counteracts the strong kick and only leaves a very mild taste that I promise is very refreshing. (more…)
