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.
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.
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.
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…)
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”.
Do you think Ziggy Stardust (David Bowie) would enjoy a strawberry cocktail? What about a strawberry cocktail named after him?
Yeah, I think he will love that. Not only will he enjoy this drink, but you can as well! The Ziggy Caipi is a low sugar balanced martini that is refreshing, light, and delicious! Here are the ingredients for the “Ziggy Caipi” cocktail that will have you humming his tunes with every sip.
