Caipirinha - Ideal Cocktail For Summer

Recently, my friend "jio" as in invite me to go try the Brazil Churrasco (Fiesta Brasilia) at United Square with assurance the offering will be more authentic Brazilian than the Churrsaco (Carnivore) at Vivo City. True to his words, I had the best Churrsaco experience as Fiesta serve a very wide spread of meat and authentic Brazilian side dishes. What knock me off the rocker is Caiprinha serve in Fiesta Brasilia is extremely refreshing as it cleanse you of those feeling of oiliness you feel after binging too much. I believe it is a best summer cocktail for hot summer and I decide to share with you all.

Caiprinha

• 2 Lime
• Fine Sugar
• Cachaca (for purist) or Vodka (if you cannot find any)
• Sprite (for watered down version)

The version shown here is a watered down Caiprinha as I wanted it to be more suitable for people across the age as the alcohol content is so low it unlikely you can get drunk from it. First slice one of the lime into thin slices and put aside. For the second lime, cut into 4 quarters and put one of the quarter into a mug or drinking glass lined with 3 teaspoon of sugar. With a spoon, crush the lime so that the lime juice is released and mixed with sugar. Add in additional lime slices you cut earlier and fill the mug/glass full of ice. For original version, fill the mug/glass with Cachaca or Vodka and stir it well. For the watered down version, pour in Sprite then add in 1 tblespoon of Cachaca or Vodka. For those who want a stronger punch can add in more Cachaca or Vodka.
