New York Caipiroska



Caipiroska is the name of a Brazilian cocktail made with little more than lime juice, sugar, and vodka. It is a variation on the more popular caipirinha, a similar mixed drink that centers on a more rustic, often homemade, sugar cane liquor. Caipiroska ingredients are identical to caipirinha ingredients, with the exception of the alcohol at the center.

The New York Cocktail is a classic drink similar to a Whiskey Sour. It’s a simple mixture of whiskey or bourbon, lemon or lime juice, and sugar.

The New York Cocktail is a Whiskey Sour all riled up!

Dating back to at least 1930 when published in the Savoy bartending guide, the New York Cocktail is a classic Whiskey Sour style drink made sort of like an Old Fashioned in that it starts off with a sugar cube.
