Caipirinha

Post by DA DRUNK.COM »

1 lime

3 or 4 ounces of cachaça

Sugar to taste

Ice cubes

Wash the lime and roll it on the board to loosen the juices. Cut the lime into pieces and place them in a glass. Sprinkle with the sugar and crush the pieces (pulp side up) with a pestle. Just enough to release the juice, otherwise it'll get bitter. Add the cachaça and stir to mix. Add the ice and stir again. It is delicious and potent!

You can also make a pitcher of caipirinha. Figure out how many people and multiply amounts. If you can't find cachaça where you live, use a good vodka. The drink will then be called caipiroshka. No vodka? Use white rum and you will have a caipiríssima. Caipirinhas made with sake are all the rage in Rio now! Try one...

You are a good man. This drink is quite tasty. You can sub any cane liquor for Cachaca; most get up to 90-100 proof so brace yourself.

Why thank you kind sir...

Yeah, you can use Vodka or Rum too.

And always remember....when life hands you lemons, ask for tequila and salt and call me over!
