Last week I featured Sandy from the Movie Grease as my Halloween Costume and I wrote what really inspired in reproduce the character Sandy in Bar Photo shoot, bringing back my childhood memories and obviously Miss Caipi cannot miss an opportunity to create a new Caipi, I came out with the Grease lightning Caipi, a classic Milkshake drink to make you feel you were taken back inside a 50’s American Diner.

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…)
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.
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.
Yes winter is here and we can all feel it in the air! Our first blizzard has approached and because of the cold, we are constantly seeking comfort in our beds. Although most people might prefer to stay indoors during this winter season, a night out in the city wouldn’t hurt, right?
In the Upper West Side, there are some cute hangout spots for you to enjoy with others or in solitude. My list includes a local bar and a unique establishment that provides a fun and comfortable atmosphere for everyone. (more…)
I said maybe you are going to be the one that saves me and after all you are my Wonderwall!
While reading this post, make sure you listen to the music in the link above. You can’t skip out on Wonderwall…
As Miss Caipi, I always wanted to make people feel special through my cocktails’ creations. As a birthday gift to myself, I decided to create my own personalized Caipi named after one of my favorite songs, Wonderwall. I am now introducing my very own Carla Anapurus Caipi, “Wonderwall.” It was a challenge picking out a name because Oasis is one of my favorite bands and I couldn’t choose a song! Between “Champagne Supernova” and “Supersonic” where she has a Gin and tonic it came The “Wonderwall Caipi”.
