Caipirinha (pronounced kie-purr-REEN-yah) is the national drink of Brazil. It is made with cachaça, a sweet Brazillian style rum made from sugarcane juice. Although it is more difficult to find, it’s important to choose a premium cachaça for this cocktail in particular because the drink is not heavily flavored and a cheaper brand can ruin an otherwise perfect Caipirinha.
Ingredients:
1 lime, quartered
2 tsp fine sugar
2 oz cachaca (buy here)
Preparation:
Place the lime wedges and sugar into a glass.
Smash well to create a paste.
Fill the glass with ice cubes.
Pour in the cachaca.
Stir well.
Considering this is just alcohol, limes and sugar, a couple of these will do you good for the night.
