This simplified caipirinha swaps traditional lime for ripe passionfruit pulp, muddled with sugar and cachaça over crushed ice. The tropical tartness balances the sugarcane spirit's grassy sweetness, making it a bright, low-fuss drink for warm evenings or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe passionfruit, pulp scooped out
  • 2 ounces cachaça
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1 cup crushed ice

Method

  1. Scoop the passionfruit pulp into the bottom of a sturdy rocks glass, including the seeds.

  2. Add the sugar to the glass and muddle the passionfruit pulp and sugar together for about 30 seconds to release the juice and dissolve the sugar.

  3. Fill the glass with crushed ice.

  4. Pour the cachaça over the ice and stir well for about 15 seconds to combine and chill the drink.

  5. Serve immediately with a straw or short spoon, stirring occasionally to redistribute the pulp and seeds.
