Aquarius: Zest Caip Recipe

People born under the sign of Aquarius are known to be independent and deep thinkers but are also considered to be cold and aloof at times. Our Mixtrology horoscope for Aquarius is a zesty Caipirinha, the patron drink of Brazil. With a caipirinha in hand, any shy Aquarian can break out of their shell! This cocktail features cachaca, a Brazilian distilled spirit derived from sugarcane juice that’s allowed to ferment. Cachaca is similar to rum, but because it’s distilled from raw sugarcane juice instead of molasses, it has a fresh, spicy fruitiness that’s the perfect complex flavor for a deep-thinking Aquarius to ponder on. The simplicity of this cocktail really allows you to savor the interesting tropical flavors of cachaca, and the fresh citrus makes this drink a great choice for both a spring or summer outdoor treat. You can also easily upscale our zesty caipirinha and ensure you’ll have no problems making a pitcher for a tropical get-together with friends and family.
