Caipirinha ========== *Bartender recipe (serves 1)* 1 lime 2 oz cachaça sugar cracked ice simple syrup (optional) Cut the lime into segments and place them into the glass, pulp side up. Sprinkle with sugar and crush the pieces with a wooden pestle until juices are pressed out. Add the cachaça and cracked ice. If too sour, add a little more sugar or simple syrup. If too strong, it's just right.
