Recipe for Caipirinha
Makes 1 caipirinha
- 2 limes
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 to 3 tablespoons cachaça (adjust amount to taste)
- Ice cubes
- Cut the two ends of the lime and cut lime into medium chunk wedges.
- Using a muddler or even the end of a wooden spoon, mash the lime with sugar, making sure to squeeze all the juices from the lime and to dissolve the sugar in the juice.
- Transfer the lime mixture to a shaker. Add the cachaça and ice cubes. Shake well (about 8 to10 times) and pour into a large but not tall sturdy glass.
