Caipirinha

Ingredients:

• 1 lime washed and dried
• 3 or 4 teaspoons granulated sugar (I like it with 4 teaspoons)
• 2 oz of 'cachaça'
• crushed ice

FYI: 2 oz is the same as 4 tablespoons or 1/4 cup in case you were wondering

What To Do:

Gather your ingredients.

Cut the lemon in 8 parts. (cut in half, then each half in four parts).

Place the lemon pieces in a cup with wide bottom.

Put the sugar on top.

Press everything with a wooden muddler.

Add cachaça.

Add crushed ice.

Place a saucer over the cup.

Shake it well.

FYI
Some people like caipirinha made with vodka instead of cachaça and in Brazil we call it 'caipiroska'.
You can drink it with a straw.
