How to prepare the perfect Caipirinha

Caipirinha is the iconic cocktail of Brazil. Do you know how to prepare the perfect caipirinha?

Cut a lime in medium-sized pieces. …
Put the lime pieces into a glass and add two or three tablespoons of sugar.
Use a small wooden mallet or pestle to crush the lime to release the juice.
Add cachaça to taste.
Add two or three ice cubes.
Stir the drink to dissolve the sugar

Ps: If you can’t find cachaça you could replace it with vodka. It is not the same (caipiroska) but still very good.

Enjoy!
