THE FUN
Caipiroska
Caipiroskas are fun and they are so easy to make.
I actually prefer them to mojitos, and so does most of
South America. Although it’s standard practice to serve
them over crushed ice, I like to shake this cucumber version
and serve in a martini glass, it’s unusual I know, but
if you shake harder and a bit longer than you normally
would, the flakes of ice make this a great drink to sip at,
especially on a warm day.

Let's
make it!
Ingredients
Cucumber juice
Vodka
Lime juice
Sugar syrup
For preparation
First juice cucumbers (use a strainer to
get rid of excess pulp)
Then mix your vodka and cucumber juice (half and
half) and leave in the freezer overnight.
The Mix:
I like to shake this drink over ice
and serve in a martini glass but it
could also be served in a highball
with crushed ice.
4 parts vodka and cucumber mix
2 parts lime juice
1 part sugar syrup
A great way to garnish this drink is
by peeling a strip of
cucumber skin (in the same
way you would a potato)
and using it as decoration.
Happy drinking!
