Caipirinha


Caipirinha

50 ml(1 fl oz) Cachaça
½ lime cut into 4 wedges (or tahiti lime, but not green lemon)
2 teaspoons crystal or refined sugar

Place lime and sugar into old fashioned glass and muddle (mash the two ingredients together using a muddler or a wooden spoon). Fill the glass with crushed ice and add the Cachaça.

A wide variety of fresh fruits can be used in place of lime. In the absence of cachaça, vodka can be used, making a Caipiroska.
