 The Caipirinha is a Brazilian cocktail that shares some of mojito's primary ingredients -- lime and sugar. It is made with Cachaca (pronounced ka-sha-sa), a Brazilian rum distilled from sugar cane juice.
The caipirinha is typically served in a short, wide glass, since it contains less liquid than the mojito.
Crushed ice works best because the smaller pieces melt faster, adding volume to the drink.
Here is what you need:
1 Lime
2 Ounces Cachaca
2 Tablespoons White Granulated Sugar
Crushed Ice
Here is what you do:
Cut lime into 8 pieces. Muddle lime and sugar in the bottom of a glass or cocktail shaker. Add rum. Add about 1 cup crushed ice. Cover and shake vigorously. Garnish with a lime wedge and serve with a straw.
