Since Valentine’s day is dedicated to embrace friendship and our loved ones, there is nothing better than celebrating with a personalized Valentine’s day cocktail. The XOXO Caipi is a personalized cocktail created for my sweet friend, Melissa Fiore.
Melissa is a very sweet girl and loves everything that are kisses & hugs themed. From bags, shoes, clothing… You name it, she has it! If you visit her blog, Melissa Fiore blog , and her instagram page, you can get a better idea of Melissa’s style.
This Caipi contains a low sugar content, which Melissa adores since she is a strict dieter and a lover of natural ingredients. The drink also has an organic strawberry mix. I used Sake according to her preference, orange liqueurs, and coconut water. It turned out really tasty. The XOXO Caipi can be done in a non alcoholic version too by replacing the orange liqueur for orange juice and eliminating the Sake.
Miss Caipi loves to create personalized Caipis. It is so nice to be inspired by somebody else’s taste and create that special drink…
Maybe one day I can create one for you too! In the meantime let’s drink up and enjoy the XOXO Caipi.
Ingredients:
1.5 oz of sake
1 tsp of organic low sugar strawberry preserves
1.5 oz coconut water
0.5 oz of Cointreau
2 cubes of ice
Combine all the ingredients in a shaker, shake well and pour in a Martini glass. To garnish you can use rose petals.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
XOXOXOXO
