Caipirinha, it originated when the slaves, these great inventors and tasters of Brazilian cuisine, decided to mix cachaça with fruit juices that, like lime, were completely ignored by the white elite. It had as a predecessor the lime batida (drink), also of slave origin, and became complete when they added sugar and lime peel. However, the origin of the term “caipirinha” is still unknown. There is no historical connection between its consumption and the caipira himself, inhabitant of the interior of Brazil, traditionally associated with the regions of Minas Gerais and São Paulo.
Born from the hands and creativity of the slaves, caipirinha acquired, over time, an international status. Nowadays, it has been included by the International Barmen Association among the seven classical cocktail drinks of the world, being very much appreciated in countries like Germany and the United States
