History[edit] Popularity[edit] The caipirinha is the strongest national cocktail of Brazil,[6] and is imbibed in restaurants, bars, and many households throughout the country.
Once almost unknown outside Brazil, the drink has become more popular and more widely available in recent years, in large part due to the rising availability of first-rate brands of cachaça outside Brazil.[7] The International Bartenders Association has designated it as one of their Official Cocktails.[8] Name[edit] The word caipirinha is the diminutive version of the word caipira, which refers to someone from the countryside, being an almost exact equivalent of the American English hillbilly or the Lowland Scots teuchter. The word may be used as either a masculine or a feminine noun, but when referring to this drink it is only feminine (usage of diminutives is common in Brazil). Variations[edit] Derivations[edit] There are many derivations of caipirinha in which other spirits substitute for cachaça. See also[edit]
