Ginger And Lychee Caipirinhas Recipes

Steps:

• Place 2 ginger slices and 1 to 2 tablespoons sugar in each of 12 tumblers. Use a muddler to mash ginger. Add a quartered lime to each; crush with muddler. Fill glasses with coarsely crushed ice, add a scant 1/4 cup cachaca to each, and stir well. Squeeze lime wedges into glasses and serve.

Steps:

• Divide tangerines or small oranges among 6 tumblers. Add 2 teaspoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon grated peeled ginger to each glass. Crush the ingredients in the bottom of the glass with a muddler or handle of a wooden spoon. Top each drink with 2 tablespoons tangerine juice and 1/4 cup cachaa (Brazilian sugarcane liquor) or vodka. Fill glasses with ice cubes, stir, and serve.

Steps:

• Peel the lychees and place them in a medium-sized bowl. Drizzle the lime juice over them, then add the diced ginger and toss until all the ingredients are combined. Serve immediately, garnished with a thick curl of lime zest.

Steps:

• Drain the syrup from two cans of lychees into a small pan. Add the sugar and dissolve over a gentle heat. Bring to the boil for 1 min. Blitz the drained lychees, fresh ginger slices and lychee syrup in a blender until very finely chopped. Pour through a sieve. Tip into a 1-litre container and freeze for at least 6 hrs until solid.
• Break up the frozen mix, then put in a food processor. Tip in the egg white and whizz until thick, pale and smooth. Return to the container and freeze again, ideally overnight. Serve in scoops with slices of stem ginger and syrup poured over, with Chinese fortune cookies or thin butter or almond biscuits.

Steps:

• Add lime quarters, sugar, ginger, and ice to a mixing glass or cocktail shaker; muddle well.
• Fill an 8-ounce glass 3/4 full with crushed ice. Add the cachaca.
• Pour the muddled mixture into glass with cachaca. Stir well to make sure sugar dissolves completely. Garnish with sugar cane stick.
