This month’s recipe comes from our friends at Santa Barbara Catering Company! They’ve recently launched a blog of their own to highlight event ideas, tips and trends…

“Phoenix outdoor events can be hot and in desperate need of cooler vibes and atmosphere. Surprise your guests with a refreshing cocktail sure to get any party started this summer. Straight from the vibrant culture and party atmosphere of Brazil, the Caipirinha features the key ingredient cachaça, (pronounced KA-SHA-SA) which is similar to rum, but with an exotic refreshing twist! ”

Visit their new blog site at: www.PhoenixEventPlanning.com for the full recipe and other great event ideas!
