Cachaca on Constellation?

[winediva]

Anyone know if they have Cachaca on board the Constellation to make caiparihnas?

[tg_lindo]

My guess is yes, based on cruises on Infinity in 2005 and Millie 2006. In both cases it was not a brand I get at home... black bottle shaped like a dancer at carnival.

Sweet! Thanks so much for the info. I may have to make myself one tonight in celebration of booking! Yipppeeeee!

Pardon me for sounding uninformed, but what is Cachaca and what are caiparihnas???

Cachaca is a liquor made from distilled sugarcane juice. A caipirinha is a wonderful drink made from this liquor. It's a very famous Brazilian drink and is one of my favorite drinks. I can never remember how to pronounce it but I still order it.;)

They definitely have it as my husband has ordered them. Judy

I love Caipirinhas as well! I discovered them at the International School in Brussels (we were posted in Belgium for a few years) when the drinks where sold at the Brazil stand! My friend Nancy and I perfected a recipe. It is basically crushed ice, sugar and chopped up limes squashed up in a glass with the liquor poured on top. Very nice! I have not found the liquor in Australia as yet, but will have to keep an eye out. Anyone else feel thirsty?:D

Well, now this is a new drink I can try onboard. I love mojitos and I have been told I would love this drink too. Now if I can only pronounce it!:eek:

[BrusselsGirl07]

I think it is the first drink I will order on board in October! Sometimes I ask for a bit more sugar as I like the crunchy bits of sugar in the bottom of the glass.

 

This is how I pronounce it:

 

Cai as in Kite - Pa as in Path - Re as in reflex and Nah as in Nah, I don't want one - but in this case I DO want one!!!! :D

Thanks, I wrote it down so I can practice till I leave on my cruise and hopefully I won't make an A@* out of myself when I ask for one.:eek:

It's my favorite drink too! It's perfect on a sunny day on a beautiful ship enjoying a cruise:)

No, only after 4 of them. Be extremely careful, highly addictive. But delish!!
