Caipirinhas

The classic Brasilian cocktail. Featuring ice, lime and a touch of sweetness!

INGREDIENTS

One lime per person
3 heaped teaspoons (to taste) of sugar
Crushed Ice (doesn't have to be crushed could just be loads of cubes)
A generous slug of Caçasa (or vodka)

Cut the limes into 1/4s and remove the pithy white strip down the centre. Crush into the glass with a pestle if you have one or a wooden spoon. Add the sugar and the caçasa and mix well until the sugar dissolves. Add ice to the top of the glass and stir well.

Play some bossa nova!
