Look, I don’t know if you have been to Brazil, but I felt it was high time we discuss the best thing to come out of Brazil besides Caetano Veloso – the caipirinha. Though the original caipirinha is a delicious mash of limes and cane sugar, I thought I would add a brunch-appropriate twist, with this Sparkling Raspberry Caipirinha — it’s tart, sweet raspberries so that it can pair perfectly with another of my favorite Brazilian things, this Brazilian French Toast.

Sparkling Raspberry Caipirinha Cocktail Recipe
Brazil, but I felt it was high time we discuss the best thing to come out of Brazil besides Caetano Veloso – the caipirinha. Though the original caipirinha is a delicious mash of limes and cane sugar, I thought I would add a brunch-appropriate twist, with this Sparkling Raspberry Caipirinha — it’s tart, sweet raspberries so that it can pair perfectly with another of my favorite Brazilian things, this Brazilian French Toast.
