Caipiroska de Kiwi

One of the great things about visiting Brazil is going out to restaurants and bars with friends. The Brazilians have it down to a science and as a result, you can find a seemingly endless supply of new cocktails to try. Brazil also benefits from a wide array of indigenous fruits to incorporate into these drinks.

Caipiroska is a type of cocktail prepared with vodka instead of the ubiquitous cachaça (sugar cane rum). It is also called Caipivodka. Here is how you make Caipiroska de Kiwi:

Ingredients:
1 shot glass filled with vodka
1 kiwi
1 lime
2 tspn sugar
3/4 glass of crushed ice

Preparation:

1. Skin 1 kiwi and slice into thin slices across the core of the fruit.
2. Cut lime into thirds. Squeeze the juice of one of these pieces into a martini shaker.
   
3. Add kiwi slices, sugar, vodka, and ice to the shaker and shake well.
4. Pour and serve.
