About this recipe

A caipiroska is a variant on the traditional caipirinha, a Brazilian cocktail, but the caipiroska features vodka instead of cachaça. My caipiroska is packed full of flavour because of the native flavoured wild limes and citrus vodka, but for an added twist, try making the caipiroska with lemon myrtle vodka from Tambourine Mountain Distillery in Queensland, Australia.

Ingredients

45ml (1½ oz.) citrus vodka
6 slices of wild lime confit and syrup
10g (2 teaspoons) white sugar
crushed ice

Cooking instruction

Place the wild lime confit and white sugar in the bottom of a glass. Then using a muddle stick, muddle the wild lime confit and sugar. The purpose is to get the juice out of the wild lime pieces and at the same time release the citrus oil from the rind. Add the vodka and top with crushed ice.
