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…)
What inspired this new caipi is the classic “Grasshopper” drink. The Grasshopper consisted of a sweet and creamy delicacy. Much like this martini, the “Studio 54” Caipi provides the same tasteful experience, but instead substitutes the fresh cream with coconut milk and includes fresh fruit. “Studio 54” can also be a non-alcoholic drink by excluding the liquor listed below. Enjoy!
Studio 54 Caipi
1.5 oz. Cachaca, Vodka, or Sake
2 oz. Coconut milk
½ pear
4 mint leaves
2 ice cubes
Combine all the ingredients in a blender and blend until you have a smooth consistency.

The latest Star Wars movie, “The Force Awakens,” made its appearance in theaters earlier this December. Because I am a serious obsessed Star Wars fan, Miss Caipi had to create a Star Wars… Caipi.
