Caipiroska or caipivodka is a cocktail that is similar to a caipirinha, but prepared with vodka instead of cachaça.[1] It is a popular cocktail in Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina. It is also sometimes known as caipirodka. It has grown in popularity in recent years as access to international vodkas continues to diversify in South America.[2]
