Colin M. Walsh said...

It is a Chaparinia.. sp.. It is a Brazilian drink. Jimmy introduced us all to it a few years ago..

Therese said...

Pray tell whats in it, looks cool

Colin M. Walsh said...

Limes, Sugar, Cachaaca, (Brazilian Rum)

Mix it plenty of Walsh's, or even a couple and you are guaranteed a great laugh and great times.

Therese said...

will have to write the name of the rum,
but it was the right colour for it to be a margarita.

This drink can be, and often is, made with White Bacardi. The secret is in crushing the sugar and the limes in the bottom of the glass with a pestle before you add the alcohol and then the ice. A most nourishing drink.

I'll have to make one.yum yum

Therese said...

step by step, quantities to taste I expect, cant risk hangover till weekend. We'll skip the bend in the river Gillian.

I have attached a video which will show you how to make this drink. I think you will need a little more sugar than this barman uses and there is no need to shake. Stirring is enough for Brazilians so it should be good enough for us. The first drink in the video is original caiparinha I am not familiar with the second drink. Most Brazilians just drink the caiparinha. As I said you can use white bacardi rum if you can't find cachasha. Maybe they have some in the supermarket where the bull was.

Jim you can't get it here i have tried everywhere, i wanted to make one for the Mick fella but no joy,

Unknown said...

use bacardi

Anne said...

I have a Brazilian student staying with me, her name is Melissa, and she has made this drink for us with red wine. She says you can also make it with vodka. The red wine one was delicious, but not as nice as the original one.

Therese said...

must be what the bull wanted, I really think he fancied a BULLmers .Roll on the weekend.

phyllis said...

Therese your gas.I take it your looking forward to the weekend!!!

They call the caiparinha made with vodka a 'caiporaska'. Just ask me , I know everything.
