Caipirinha
Squeeze lime wedges into low-ball glass and muddle with sugar until dissolved. Add cachaça. Stir.
Brazils most famous drink. Time-savier: use 1/2 oz lime juice and 1/2 oz simple syrup. For some, 2 oz of of cachaça is sufficient.

- Went with lime juice and simple sugar option.
- Refreshing and boozy. I lived in Brazil for 3yrs. Cut 1/2 - 1 lime into pieces & put 2 T sugar in a bottom of rocks glass, muddle, add ice & at least 3oz cachaca - cheap stuff ok. Enjoy! Never liked simple w/ this drink.
- I like this: 2 oz cachaca; 3/4 of a lime; 3/4 oz simple; 1 cube. Muddle, shake with cracked ice, strain to chilled DOF with cracked ice.
