Cocktail Description
The Celtic Caipirinha is what happens when Brazil and Scotland collide in your glass—a bold, cross-continental adventure that breaks all the rules.
This intriguing cocktail transforms the traditional Brazilian caipirinha by incorporating smoky Scotch whisky and honey-sweet Drambuie alongside grassy cachaça, creating a surprisingly harmonious blend of flavors. You'll taste the vegetal notes of the cachaça first, followed by the subtle smoke of Johnnie Walker Black, with Drambuie's herbal honey sweetness rounding everything out. It's remarkably simple to make—just a quick stir with ice—making it perfect for entertaining when you want something impressive without complex techniques. The Celtic Caipirinha works beautifully for transitional seasons like early fall or late spring, when you're craving something both refreshing and warming. Pair this with bold-flavored appetizers like manchego cheese, smoked almonds, or even spicy grilled shrimp to complement its complex flavor profile.
