A caipirinha is a classic Brazilian cocktail that is traditionally made with just three ingredients - cachaca (a spirit made from sugarcane), sugar and lime - but it's also easy to make a healthier alternative.
This recipe from chef Tom Aiken's London restaurant Tom's Kitchen uses 100% pure coconut water to turn this usually short cocktail into a longer, cooling drink.
Coconut water is also naturally free from fat, gluten and cholesterol and helps boost immunity. Who knew a cocktail could be so good for you?
