When air conditioning just isn’t cutting it, it’s time for a Caipirinha! Caiprinhas, a cousin of the mojito, are the national cocktail of Brazil. The authentic version calls for cachaça, an iconic South American alcohol distilled from fresh sugarcane. It’s fairly similar to white rum so feel free to use whatever you have on hand.

Ingredients

• 1.75 oz cachaca or white rum
• 1/2 lime, cut into wedges
• 2 tsp brown sugar

Preparation

1. 1. Muddle the lime and sugar in a glass.
2. 2. Add the booze and stir thoroughly.
3. 3. Fill the glass with ice.
4. 4. Repeat as desired

Cheers!
