Caipirinha

A Brazilian national cocktail called Caipirinha is made with cachaça, sugar, and lime. Cachaça is the most common distilled alcoholic drink in Brazil, and it can be consumed by itself or used as a base for a number of mixed beverages.

This refreshing cocktail is simple to prepare: sugar and lime that has been cut into quarters should be gently muddled together with a wooden spoon before adding cachaça and ice. The traditional way to make Caipirinha is in a single large jar that can be shared amongst people, but it can also be served in an old-fashioned glass with a lime wedge garnish.
