What is cachacas? Is that a brand? - Amaranth(909 days ago)
ginger out limes in but at least we all agree this is one refreshing drink! - liam(927 days ago)
Mmmm ... we went to fogo de chao yesterday and had a bunch of brazillian meats and a large number of caipirinhas. Their way is just cachaca, limes and sugar ... but who knows how authentic that is. - jacob(966 days ago)
Yeah, I could have sworn this drink was made with cachaca, limes and sugar. - Jeffrey(967 days ago)
I usually make it with a lime. I've also never made it with ginger, but that sounds pretty tasty. My big recommendation would be to use some kind of "raw" sugar (I prefer Turbinado). It really compliments the edge of most cachacas. I think refined, white sugar just tastes too sweet. This is one of those drinks that usually seems to made made totally wrong in bars... I only make it at home. - klz(971 days ago)
