Description

The Winter Caipirinha (pronounced kai-pe-REEN-ya) is a modern cocktail of unknown origin that was published by Leblon Cachaça, a Brazilian brand of rum. It's a cold-weather variation of the classic Caipirinha, the official drink of Brazil, and it calls for the original's cachaça, simple syrup, and lime template but pairs them with açai berry liqueur, cranberries, and rosemary, adding a unique bitterness to the already tart drink.
