Pepper Basil Caipirinha

The Pepper Basil Caipirinha is a very light refreshing drink from Devin Tavern in NYC.

Like all good cocktails, freshness is just as important as using a great spirit. In this case, they use Beleza Pura Cachaca, which is much smoother than most, as well as fresh lime and basil

Ingredients:
1 barspoon White Peppercorns
6 Basil leaves (fresh)
1/2 Lime cut into wedges
2 barspoons Sugar
3 oz Beleza Pura Cachaca

Cachaca is a clear spirit made from pure sugarcane. Its origins are Brazilian. Many people call it a rum and that's because rum is the closest spirit to it, seeing as rum is made from molasses. I've heard that when it was first imported they need to classify it as a rum for legal import reasons, hence it's often referred to as Brazilian Rum.

Step 1 Muddlin' Pepper

Place a layer of pepper corns in the bottom of a pint glass. Using a sturdy muddler, crush them well, releasing their essence.

Here in Brazil it's a sin to shake the caipirinha! We make it usually only with the cachaça,the lime and the ice, but I will try this one the next time I make a BBQ. Good instructable!

Nice detail! I haven't seen the basil-slapping trick before, but it looks neat- I'll have to try.
