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.
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.
Garnish with mint leaves and a disco ball!

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”.
Many people are not exposed to the deliciousness of a Brazilian cocktail. The most common question I receive from others when discussing mixology is, “What is a Brazilian cocktail?” The best way to describe a Brazilian cocktail is this: it is a light, refreshing, and natural drink. It is so refreshing, you will crave a second round. Brazil’s national drink is the “Caipirinha,” which is a simple and exhilarating drink mixed with limes, sugar, and cachaca. All of the drinks I create are called, “Caipi,” which is a shorter term for “Caipirinha.” Now the main ingredient, the cachaça, is our national spirit which is made of pure sugar cane juice. A Brazilian cocktail is not necessarily made with cachaca, for it can be created with other spirits as well. My personal favorite is the “Caipi Vodka,” which is also known as “Caipiroska.”
For my original “Caipi,” the recipe consists of limes, agave nectar light (replacing sugar as a natural sweetener) and using the spirits: Cachaca, Vodka, Bourbon, Sake.
1.5 oz of Cachaca or Vodka or Sake or Bourbon
0.5 oz of Agave nectar light
1/2 lime
Recipe:
Cut the lime in a half and after in 4 wedges, place the lime wedges and agave nectar light in a shaker and muddle all together, then place the liquor and the ice and do a really good shake to get a well balanced Original Caipi.
