Grapeful Description
The Caipirinha is Brazil’s national cocktail, and let me tell you—it tastes like a Carnival parade went marching straight into your glass. It’s tangy, sweet, and strong enough to make you dance like you suddenly remembered you own a sequined shirt. This isn’t your everyday lime-and-sugar mix; this is cachaça, baby—rum’s wilder cousin. One sip and you’ll be Googling plane tickets to Rio faster than you can say “samba.”
