A couple of people have asked what Caipirinha is. The true answer is .... "its potentially lethal", but it is THE national drink of Brasil, so here´s what you do....

Ingredients:

2 oz. (or more, MUCH more) of Cachaca (Brazilian Sugar Cane Brandy)
1 Lime
1 tsp. Sugar

Use a rocks or old-fashioned glass. Cut the lime into 8 wedges and put in the glass. Add sugar. Mash the lime and sugar together until they are well mixed. Fill the glass with crushed ice. Add Cachaca. Stir. Garnish with a lime squeeze.

Hope that helps. If you can´t find Cachaca, then you can do the same with Vodka to make a Caipiroska. Enjoy :-)
