Strawberry Caipiroska Recipe

One of the last times I visited Madrid during a weekend, I met some friends who were also in the capital. In fact, they also live abroad. They emigrated shortly after me. We took advantage that Madrid was not very crowdy that night to go out for a drink and some tapas in La Latina, one of Madrid’s districts well known for its tapas restaurants. That night we ended the evening on a terrace with a cocktail to accompany a piece of cake. Well… half of the group succumbed to the temptation of a cocktail, the other half to a tea. It was that day that I was recommended to try the strawberry  Caipiroska. It was delicious !

As caipirinhas and other variants, strawberry Caipiroska is a very sweet cocktail. Well… that means that it is best not to drink it too fast, even though it is very refreshing 😉 Nevertheless, this cocktail needs good strawberries, ripes and very sweet. As caipirinha, to prepare a strawberry Caipiroska, simply crush the fruit, add crushed ice and fill with vodka.
