Thanks for bringing this up Bernardo! Caipirinha Brazil's national cocktail, is made with cachaça, sugar and lime. Cachaça, also known as Pinga or Caninha, is Brazil's most common distilled alcoholic beverage made from sugar cane juice.Interesting reference here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWghYkZSKGQ
Recipe for Caipirinha : Half a lime cut into 4 wedges, 2 Teaspoons brown sugar, 1 2/3 oz CachaçaPlace lime and sugar into old fashioned glass and muddle (mash the two ingredients together using a wooden spoon). Fill the glass with crushed ice and add the Cachaça. Enjoy! Recipe for a Goan take on the Caipirinha: Replace Cachaca with Caju Feni (distilled from the juice of Caju apples) or with Maddel Feni (distilled from the sap of coconut flower pods.) This also helps with bouts of Saudades de Goa ... Best Regards,E.
