CAIPIRINHA

Hello my fellow followers;

SUMMER IS COMING!

I have to admit this drink has replaced ( temporarily) one of my favorite summer drinks mojito. This drink is the signature drink of Brazil, made from Cachaca a light rum made from sugar cane. Cachaca can be hard to find, but if you do, Oh so worth it. If you can't find it just use a clear good quality rum otherwise it can really ruin the taste. ENJOY!

Ingredients:

  • 1 lime, quartered
  • 2 tsp fine sugar
  • 2 oz. Cachaca or good quality clear rum

Preparation:

  1. Place the lime wedges and sugar into an old-fashioned glass.
  2. Muddle well to create a paste.
  3. Fill the glass with ice cubes.
  4. Pour in the cachaca.
  5. Stir well.
Note: Keep the sugar mixed in the drink by stirring often. ENJOY
