Caipirinha & Cancha

This is one of our go-to summer and vacation drinks and we craft our own in the hotel whenever we are in Latin America. Jan has a great post about our favorite rums and how we discovered them. Give it a read! This drink is very versatile and you can substitute your spirit of choice or add flavor to discover your own twist. Experiment!

Ingredients

Scale

2 oz Rum (aged is better!)
1 oz simple syrup
1 oz lime juice
Top with sparkling water for the Cancha, skip for the Caipirinha

Instructions

Mix all the ingredients and hit the beach. Garnish with fresh lime. This one is so easy you’ll make batches of it and it’s great for summer parties.

Notes

If you are mixing this outside the US, be sure and look for Havana Club 7. It’s the OG for making the Cancha!
