    Every Cool Girl deserves a Cool Cocktail in her life! then Miss Caipi came out with The Cool Girl cocktail inspired by the blog post, “What is it to be a Cool Girl”,  to pair with the Mr. Nono drink originating:  The Cool Cocktail’s Line.

    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…)

    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…)
