Caipirinhia
- the national alcoholic drink
Cachaca,
a spirit distilled from sugercane, is one of the most popular
drinks in Brazil. Some of the better varieties are available
in larger liquor stores around the world.
Place
the lime pieces, pulp side up, in the bottom of an old fashioned
glass or heavy tumbler. Add sugar to taste and crush the lime
and sugar together with a pestle or the end of a wooden spoon
(be sure to crush the pieces pulp side up or too much bitter
lime oil will be released from the zest). Add the cachaca,
stir to mix and add the ice cubes. Stir again and serve.
