Caipirinha ganache

For this recipe, Callebaut chef Alexandre Bourdeaux found inspiration in Brazil's national drink: the world-renowned caipirinha. Lead flavours are lime, cachaça and dark chocolate. These ingredients can be rather easily found all around the world. If not, check where you can get them with your local bartender or mixologist. Saúde!
