1 Video | Photo: Grilled Papaya Caipirinha Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 papaya, peeled and cut in 1-inch slices, seeds saved for garnish
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, for brushing
- 1 lime, cut into 8 pieces
- 2 tablespoons raw sugar
- Crushed ice
- 2 ounces cachaca
- Mint sprig
- Papaya seeds
Directions
Preheat a grill to high. Brush the papaya slices with olive oil and put on the grill. Grill for 3 minutes per side and then transfer to a cutting board. Cut the papaya into large chunks. Fill 2 bucket glasses each with 4 pieces of lime, grilled papaya chunks, 1 tablespoon of raw sugar, and muddle the ingredients. Wrap whole ice cubes in a kitchen towel and pound the ice with a rolling pin, cocktail muddler, or heavy pan to create crushed ice. Fill the glasses with crushed ice and add 1-ounce of cachaca to each glass. Using a bar spoon, give all ingredients a few spins and add additional crushed ice. Garnish each drink with 1 slice of grilled papaya, a mint sprig, and several papaya seeds.

You are a moron to rate a recipe 1 star when you completely changed the recipe by substituting ingredients. You're not rating YOUR recipe here. It's Guy's recipe. People like you completely skew the rating of a recipe. I made this as I saw it on the show and thought it was delicious...for anyone who cares what the actual recipe tastes like.

I didn't have a papaya so I grilled some bananas and pineapple rings instead. I thought that the acidity of the pineapple would be the same as a papaya. Not a good idea. Also, the bananas gave off too much sugars when they grilled. I wouldn't make this recipe again.
