HOW TO MAKE CAIPIRINHA

Steps:

• juice 3 of the limes and set aside - you'll want about a 1/3 of a cup of juice, give or take
• cut the other 2 limes in 8 pieces each
• Add the sugar and the lime pieces to a cup and muddle until you've juiced all the little pieces and they're nicely combined with the sugar
• add the lime juice and the cachaça to the muddled limes and stir gently to dissolve the sugar - approx. 2 minutes
• fill 2 cups with ice, and top them with caipirinha

Steps:

• Place the lime pieces, pulp side up, in the bottom of an old fashioned glass or heavy tumbler. Add sugar to taste and crush the lime and sugar together with a pestle or the end of a wooden spoon (be sure to crush the pieces pulp side up or too much bitter lime oil will be released from the zest). Add the cachaca, stir to mix and add the ice cubes. Stir again and serve.

Steps:

• Put the lime wedges in a large jug with the sugar, then use a muddler or the end of a rolling pin to break them down. Release as much juice from the wedges as possible, and let it mix with the sugar to create a syrup - you can also do this with a large pestle and mortar. Discard the lime peel.
• Divide the syrup and cachaça between four glasses, then top with the crushed ice. Serve garnished with lime wedges, if you like.
