Tag: Caipirinha

According to nutritional data, a standard caipirinha can contain anywhere from 10 to 18 grams of sugar, though this can vary significantly based on the recipe. The amount of sugar in a caipirinha is determined by the specific ingredients and the bartender's heavy-handedness with the sweetener, which is often a matter of personal preference.

The caipirinha was officially registered as a typical Brazilian drink in 2003, with an alcohol content ranging from 15% to 36% ABV. While the refreshing mix of lime and sugar can mask its intensity, it is indeed a strong drink that demands respect.
