Caipirinha (the first "c" is hard) is a delicious and refreshing drink made with cachaça (the final "c" is soft). This is a Bralizian beverage made from sugar cane. If you can not find cachaca you can make a variation with either vodka or rum.
2 limes per glass
2 ounces of cachaça
2 teaspoons sugar per glass
crushed ice
Wash the limes and roll them on the board to loosen the juices. Cut the lime into pieces and place them in a glass. Sprinkle with the sugar and crush the pieces (pulp side up) with a pestle. ) Just enough to release the juice, otherwise it'll get bitter. Add the cachaça and stir to mix. Add the ice and stir again. It is delicious and potent!
