Bartender’s tips and advice
- This cocktail is being referred to as the “Hot Caipirinha” as well. Main difference to a regular caipirinha apart from this cocktail being served hot is the fresh mint.
- Keep fresh mint in the fridge rolled-up in a plastic bag. By doing that it will stay fresh longer.
