Description

Using a homemade lime oleo-saccharum and our Rum 44, this Caipirinha recipe packs much more flavor than your typical Caipirinha recipe.

Ingredients

Scale

For the lime oleo-saccharum:

  • 4 lime skins
  • 8 oz. Rum 44
  • 8 oz. hot water

For the Mad River Caipirinha:

  • ½ a lime, cut into 2 quarters
  • ½ oz. lime oleo-saccharum
  • 2 oz. Rum 44

Instructions

To make the lime oleo-saccharum:

  1. Remove zest from 4 lime skins (just the zest, and none of the white pith).
  2. In a bowl, combine the zest with 8 oz. of raw cane sugar.
  3. Muddle the sugar and lime zest together for several minutes to release oils from the zest, then place it in a closed container overnight.
  4. After infusing overnight, add 8 oz. of hot water and dissolve the sugar.
  5. Strain the liquid to remove all lime zests. 

To make a Mad River Caipirinha:

  1. In large rocks glass, muddle the two quarters of lime with ½ oz. of the prepared lime oleo-saccharum.
  2. Add 2 oz. of Rum 44, then top with crushed ice.
  3. Stir the ingredients together in the glass, and enjoy!
