Salutations Steemit Friends!
What better way to kickoff an August weekend than with a light and refreshing libation. Fellow tipplers, allow me to introduce you to the Caipirissima Cocktail - she's one fresh drink!
Think of the Caipirissima as the sweet little sister of the Caipirinha, Brazil's national cocktail. The difference between the two is that the Caipirissima is made with light rum rather than the Brazilian spirit cachaça.
Really, the Caipirissima is so quick and easy to make! Like its cousin the Cuban Mojito (learn and watch how to make a Mojito here), this is also a muddled drink but with fewer ingredients.
If you don't have light rum on hand, no worries. Instead, substitute with vodka to create a Caipivodka (a.k.a. Caipiroska).

Must say @michellectv that drink looks incredible! Definitely going to get some light rum this weekend (any recommendations?) and make this!

You can use good old Bacardi, doesn't require something special. But if you have a top shelf rum, go with it, mix it up and have fun.
Also, adding fresh fruit like passion fruit or berries to your muddled mix can fancy this up.
