Caipirinha
A refreshing drink with a pleasant slightly bitter taste.
If you add sparkling water you get a less alcoholic drink, and use rum instead of cachaça. This way you get Caipirissima. If on the contrary, you want a stronger drink, use vodka instead of rum and you get Caipiroska.
Ingredients
1 lime
25 g brown sugar
ice cubes
60 ml cachaça (a Brazilian spirit, a type of rum made from sugarcane)
How to prepare caipirinha
- Cut the lime into thick slices. Put them in a glass.
- Add the sugar on top and then using a muddler (or a wooden spoon) crush the limes until the sugar dissolves.
- Add crushed ice until the glass is full and pour the cachaça on top. Stir!
- Serve garnished with lime slices.
