Night one of my quest to perfect the Caipirinha.
Minor issue: I didn’t have any limes.
So… Sprite and a splash of juice stepped in as emergency substitutes. Which, if we’re being honest, turned it into a completely different cocktail.
Was it authentic? Not even a little.
Was it still good? Absolutely.
The upside is now I have a perfectly valid excuse to buy more limes and give it another shot tomorrow.
Sometimes the best cocktail recipes are just happy little detours.
