I love the Brazilian cocktail, the Caipirinha. Some substitute rum but I use cachaça, which is easy to find.

Caipirinha

This makes 2 drinks.

Cut 2 limes into quarters , placing 3 quarters in each glass.

Sprinkle a tablespoon of fine sugar on top and muddle.

Add 2 tablespoons plus of cachaça (or white rum) to each glass and fill with ice.

Stir, garnish with fresh lime wedges or one quarter slice.

I like this drink paired with hot and spicy foods such as Chili, pork barbeque and robust stews.

Cheers!

Please drink responsibly.
