How to Make Caipirinha Brazilian Cocktail
Cut two large limes into wedges and place them in an Old Fashioned glass.
Add 2 tablespoons of superfine sugar (or 1 tablespoon granulated sugar) to the glass.
Gently muddle the lime wedges and sugar together until the sugar is dissolved and the limes are slightly crushed, releasing their juices.
Fill the glass with crushed ice.
Pour 2 ounces of Cachaça over the ice.
Stir gently to combine. (Optional: If using a cocktail shaker, muddle lime and sugar in the shaker, add ice and Cachaça and shake vigorously.)
Garnish with a fresh lime wedge and serve immediately.
