Camparinha

What is Camparinha?

The Camparinha cocktail is a zesty and adventurous twist on the classic Caipirinha, combining Brazil’s beloved cachaça with the unmistakable bittersweet flavor of Campari. This version introduces fresh kumquats, muddled with sugar, to bring a tangy citrus punch that complements both the herbal depth of Campari and the earthy kick of cachaça. Served over crushed ice, the Camparinha is a bold, tropical cocktail that refreshes with complexity and color, perfect for warm evenings or as a standout aperitivo.
