Caipirinha– “Kai-pih-reen-yah.” It’s a mouthfull– fortunately a very good mouthfull. This Brazillian beverage is a nice, simple, summer cocktail to enjoy on the remaining days of summer.
The recipe:
1/2 Lime, cut into chunks.
2-3 tsp sugar
1 oz. of Cachaca (Kah-sha-sah)– if you can’t get cachaca, use vodka.
Sparkling water.
Crush the limes (skins and all) and sugar together in a tumbler. Add the shot of cachaca. Add ice. Top with sparkling water. Give it a little stir.
And please– Drink responsibly.
