How to prepare the peach caipiroska recipe

1. First, wash the peaches well , peel them and cut them into cubes. For a second version, blend them with the orange (or lemon) juice until you obtain the necessary amount of pulp.
2. Wash the lime well (choose organic) and dry it then roll it on the work surface to help the juices escape. Remove the ends, cut it into segments and remove the white filament.
3. Combine half a lime, the sugar and the peach pulp or diced peaches in a tumbler glass. Crush everything with the appropriate utensil then pour in the vodka.

5. Serve decorating the edge of the glass with a slice of peach.

The peach capiroska is a fruit variant of the cocktail of the same name and is, together with the strawberry and watermelon cocktail, among the most appreciated by female customers . We also mention the equally famous peach caipiri , whose only difference lies in the use of light rum instead of vodka.

Caipiroska and caipirinha: what's the difference?

In general, the caipiroska falls into the category of crushed cocktails and is a reinterpretation of the well-known caipirinha, a typical Brazilian alcoholic drink which is prepared with a base of cachaca, a sugar cane distillate and it is precisely the use of this ingredient which differentiates the two drinks. Caipiroska, both in the traditional version and in its numerous variations, has vodka as its alcoholic base.
