Favorite (at the moment): the good old Caipirinha.

* 1 large or two small limes
* 2 heaping tablespoons of sugar
* 3 ounces of cachaça
* crushed ice

First cut the lime into eight wedges. Put the pieces, peel down and pulp up (or remove the peel), into a 10 oz drink glass. Sprinkle the sugar on the lime. Crush the sugar into the lime with a wooden pestle. (Be careful to not crush the lime skin very much, as this adds a bitter quality to the flavor.) Pour the cachaça over the lime. Shake or stir well. Add ice.

*If you use vodka instead of cachaça, it\'s a Caipiroska; with rum, it\'s a Caipirissima.


Passion fruit variation is yummy, too. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
