Jaboticaba Caipirinha

This video from www.mapadacachaca.com.br teaches you a caipirinha variation using jaboticaba. 

Jaboticaba is one of those fruits found in every brazilian backyard but seldom in supermarkets. Jaboticaba is known in botanical books as  myrciaria cauliflora. 

This video explains nicely each ingredient, beginning with the cachaça brand Santo Mario. Santo Mario is aged in oak barrels a process that while soften its taste with notes of vanilla also gives the spirit this nice light brown colour. It would be very difficult, I suppose, to find jaboticabas outside Brazil, so, don't forget when you visit this country to ask for this jaboticaba drink.  Hope you enjoy. 

Thanks to Felipe Jannuzzi for pointing me to this video.

Brown sugar and lots of ice

Don't be fooled by his nice shirt, he did a good job even using brown sugar and too much ice. The glass is larger than usual and he has to measure the cachaça dose.

He don't tell the secret!

Hey! You don't teach your secret, man, after all the congratulations, you owe us your recipe!

Traces create this blueberry variation

These guys prepare a nice drink that resembles a caipirinha, as they use lime, cachaça, sugar and muddle. I will categorize in good variation for including blueberries, ginger drops and a larger glass. I really need to try this one.
