Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lime

    Cut the fresh lime into 8 wedges. This will help release more juice and flavor.

  2. 2

    Muddle the Ingredients

    In a sturdy glass, add the lime wedges and granulated sugar. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the lime wedges to release the juice and mix it with the sugar. Be careful not to pulverize the lime too much; you just want to extract the juice.

  3. 3

    Add the Vodka

    Pour the vodka into the glass containing the muddled lime and sugar mixture. Stir gently to combine the ingredients.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top. You can use crushed ice if you prefer a slushier texture.

  5. 5

    Final Stir

    Stir the drink well to ensure that the lime, sugar, and vodka are evenly mixed with the ice.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Optionally, garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Caipiroska!
