1 part Cachaca
Garnishes
Sugar
Ice
Lime
Directions
Wash the lime and roll it on the board to loosen the juices. 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 to release the juice, otherwise it'll get bitter. Add the cachaça and stir to mix. Add the ice and stir again.

alternate ways to make this drink
Caipirinha by sHaGz
This is the way my friends from Brasil tought me to make it. 1. Peel the lime (so you don't get the bitter taste when you mash it). 2. Cut the lime to pieces 3. Put the lime in a strong glass (2 dcl) 4. Add 1 table spoon of suggar (works for me) 5. Mash and mix 6. Fill the glass with chrused ice 7. Pour cachaça... add a straw... Enjoy

Crushed ice is more of the brasilian way. The idea is for it to melt a little bit since it's a rather strong drink. If you substitute rum, it's not a caipirinha, it's a daiquiri or caipirisimma. If you substitute vodka, it's a caipiroska. Savory (453 days ago)

In the absence of cachaca feel free to substitute a good brown rum such as Appletons or Brokeback Mountain (Mount Gay.) Jsn (949 days ago)

Jacob is the master of the caipirinha. Remember his fucking face. Whenever you see caipirinha, you'll see this fucking face. He makes that shit work. It does whatever the fuck he tells it to. No one rules the caipirinha like Jacob. none of you little fucks out there. HE IS THE CAIPIRINHA COMMANDER! Remember that, commander of all caipirinhas! When it comes down to business, this is what he does. He pinches it like this. OOH you little fuck. Then he rubs his nose with it. Jeffrey (1003 days ago)
