Author Notes
Caipiroska is a form of Caipirinha prepared with vodka instead of the usual cachaça. It grew in popularity when Cachaça wasn’t readily available outside Brazil.
The proper way to make Caipiroska is with limes but it has become quite popular with different tropical fruits and this is my favourite mix.
—Maria Teresa Jorge

Put 1 teaspoon of sugar in each glass, divide the lime in the glasses and crush, preferably with a clean mortar (this is the original technique used in Brazil and Portugal). Add the fruit purée and cachaça and stir well until the sugar is dissolved.
