The Caipirinha and its star ingredient, Chachaca are difficult to say, but give them the respect they’ve earned from their rich history. The national drink(s) of Brazil are easy to make and even easier to drink.

How to make a Caipirnha

Toss your cachaca in the freezer along with your rocks glasses

Cut limes and remove pith: Cut 1 lime in half, end to end or pole to pole. Then cut in half again, end to end. That white spine running through the middle of the lime, pole to pole, is called the “pith”. Cut the pith out. Taking 2 quarter wedges, cut each into 3 or 4 more pieces - you’ll have 6 to 8 pieces.

In your shaker

Add 6 - 8 lime pieces 

Add 3 bar spoons or 1 tablespoon of sugar to shaker

***If using ice directly from freezer, add a ½ oz of cold water to shaker (BUT NOT ICE)

Pour contents of shaker into your chilled double rocks glass

Add 2 oz of cold cachaca to your shaker and swirl it around to pick up remaining sugar and lime flavor and bits

Pour into your glass

Add ice and stir topping off with more ice. Garnish with a sugar cane stick or lime.
