Drinks recipe: Brazilian mix

Here’s a cocktail that you can dress up or keep simple.  The sexy Caipirinha from Brazil can liven up any party…So even if summer is all about the sun and the heat, the partying spirit won’t cool down.


Summer wouldn’t be summer without the citrus refreshment provided by Brazil’s Caipirinha.  This calls for lime juice and good rum as its base. The Caipirinha liquor of choice is the Cachaca, a distilled white sugar cane alcohol.  Originally considered a ‘poor man’s drink,’ today, the humble Cachaca is experiencing a much-lauded revival.

Get the ingredients together. You will need a lime; Cachaca; sugar to taste and ice cubes.
Method:
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 t release the juice, otherwise it will get bitter.  Add the Cachaca and stir. Add ice and stir again.  It is delicious and potent.
