Caipiroska: mmm, mmm, mm.


While on the subject of alcoholic beverage, allow me to introduce my most favorite beverage here in the Brazil: the Roska. I find great delight and refreshment in this drink. Which is perhaps why I order it wherever we go. It is basically made with vodka and sugar, muddled with loads of fresh fruit served on ice. The standard caipiroska offerings in most restaurants and bars are pineapple, kiwi, strawberry and lime. Frequently, though, there are other offerings of more regional tropical fruits such as siriguela, caju and umbu which, for a gringa like me, are fun and adventurous. So, it is like a sweet delightful adventure in a glass. Thus, my favorite beverage.
