Sleep well dear brother Theme!!

Adventure, I think it's not difficult to make. We only need to get that rum.

doglover, Hi again!!

Yes I'm very surprised at finding it's a real cocktail.

Really?

I'm surprised you all didn't know it was a real cocktail!

**Adventure** · 12-23-2006, 02:44:10

Hey Nadine, good you're here again

LOL!!! And I thought for all those moths it's was just a loonish drink.

Although we weren't looney back then, but just crazy warriors.

Edit: So is our recipe correct Nadine?

@Lili.. plus syrup and a lemon.

But maybe we can think of some more ingredients to add, just for the experiment.

**doglover** · 12-23-2006, 02:47:58

@Leontien, It's good to know you're also still here

I encourage you girls to do that drink, it's really good, believe!

I can't tell you if the recipe is correct, cause I never made it. I just drink it when I go to parties, weddings... But my mom once told me how it was made and it's something like the recipe. I guess that there are more than one recipes...

**lili** · 12-23-2006, 02:53:06

doglover, Actually I don't really drink cocktails...

So I didn't know it...
And yes, it seems to be very tasty, just a little strong, right?

Adventure, YAY!! It's experiment!!

First we make original Caipirinha, and add something, maybe some juice again?? .... I think we end up with making carrot rum again...

**Adventure** · 12-23-2006, 02:53:08

I believe it right away Nadine!

So the recipe Lili found is indeed correct?

edit:

@lili, I don't mind, since I never had carrot rum for real.

**doglover** · 12-23-2006, 02:55:38

@Yoko, well...yeah, it's strong...okay...VERY strong! I think that if you drink more than 3 caipirinhas the possibilities of getting drunk are about 95%... Though, it doesn't make it a bad drink, it's sooo yummy!!! (okay...right now I'm really feeling like drinking a caipirinha!!)

@Leontien, I don't know, I'm now searching for some other recipes, and some seem to be stronger than others.

Here are two recipes that I just found:

http://www.maria-brazil.org/caipirinha.htm

**lili** · 12-23-2006, 03:00:41

Adventure, Ah yes, the carrot rum experimant was just Escape and me... You've never tasted it..

doglover, only 3 glasses???

I gotta be very careful....

I may sleep on the floor after the experiment!!

**Adventure** · 12-23-2006, 03:00:52

@Nadine, you don't know? So you never made your own caipirinha, huh.

But the ingredients are the most important. We will figure out the ideal percentages for us amigas.

@Lili, so we need also sugar. I wonder what Darknight has to say about that.

The syrup in the other recipe replaces the sugar.

**doglover** · 12-23-2006, 03:05:03

@Leontien, a caipirinha has to have ice, sugar, lime and cachaça (I'm not sure if that's it, I just know it needs an alcoholic drink

), then maybe you can add other ingredients to see if it's good or not...

@Yoko,

Ah, there is also a 'caipirão' where we use (in Portugal) Licor Beirão... I just remembered this now

http://absolutdrinks.com/drink_recip...roska_634.html <-- I think this was the one I drank last time...or better, I tried drinking it...it was kinda strong, and since I'm not used to drink alcoholic drinks, I thought I'd better not drink too much...in the end, I didn't even drink a glass...just a bit...it was also my mom's fault...she was always looking at me with those eyes....hehe

**Adventure** · 12-23-2006, 03:07:30

Alright, so:
- cachaça (brazilian rum).
- lime
- ice cubes
- (syrup or sugar

)
- (juices

)

Lili is dancing!

Alright, swing it baby!!

**lili** · 12-23-2006, 03:12:16

Adventure, Nadine's first recipe says a quater of lime.

We can try other citrus fruits, don't you think?

And the ingredients you've mentioned are fine to me!!

Nadine, What are caipirão and Licor Beirão??

Are these also strong cocktails?

**doglover** · 12-23-2006, 03:17:49

@Yoko, Caipirão is the same as caipirinha, but instead of using cachaça, they use Licor Beirão (an alcoholic drink). I think it's less strong than caipirinha.
I found this about caipirão: "A Caipirão is a cocktail made with lime, crushed ice and Licor Beirão (a very popular portuguese liqueur). It doesn't require sugar. It's a very aromatic version of Capirinha, lighter on alcohol and sugar."

**Adventure** · 12-23-2006, 03:22:43

@Lili
Other citrus fruits sound good.

I love citrus fruits!

I will PM you and Escape a list with all the ingredients once again in row.

And of course we can always add something if somebunny as a good idea.

@Nadine and Yoko, I wish you both a good night and day, I am just too tired to think and type.

Huge warm

for you both. Hope we can talk to each other soon.

Bye!

**lili** · 12-23-2006, 03:24:10

Nadine, I googled "Beirão" and found it's difficult get it in my country... that cocktail sounded interesting though...

But still we can try Capirinha, your favorite cocktail!

Adventure, Sleep well dear my sis!! I'm soooo happy I could meet you and chat today!!
