A refreshing spa experience in a glass.
- 4 lime wedges
- 1 ounce Simple Syrup
- 2 cucumber wheels (1/2-inch)
- 1 1/2 ounces pear vodka
To a rocks glass, add lime wedges, Simple Syrup, cucumbers and vodka. Muddle until ingredients are well combined. Add ice to tin. Pour ingredients from rocks glass to mixing glass.

The Caipirinha and Caipiroska are the only classic cocktails muddled, shaken, and poured without straining into a serving glass. Made with a Brazilian rum called cachaca, which is made of 100 percent sugar cane, the Caipirinha was originally known as a "peasant drink" and is the national drink of Brazil. The Caipiroska is a vodka-based variation of the drink that is more popular among young Brazilian adults.Spring
