Caipirinha

Serves 1

Ingredients:

1 lime, sliced
3 tablespoons sugar
½ cup cachaça (Brazilian spirit made with Sugar Cane Liqueur
¼ cup spring water
Ice cubes

Directions:

In a large cup add the slices of lime and the sugar. Muddle the mixtures until well incorporated. It should look like a paste. Add the cachaça, and water and stir. Add some ice cubes and serve it immediately.

Notes:

This is the signature drink from Brazil! For me, it tastes like a warm day at the beach!You can usually find cachaça at large liquor stores in the US, but if you are having a hard time finding it you can use vodka or rum instead.
