Ingredients
- 1 lime, cut into small pieces
- Superfine sugar
- 2 ounces cachaca (see Note), or white rum (to taste)
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Place the lime pieces, pulp side up, in the bottom of an old fashioned glass or heavy tumbler. Add sugar to taste and crush the lime and sugar together with a pestle or the end of a wooden spoon (be sure to crush the pieces pulp side up or too much bitter lime oil will be released from the zest). Add the cachaca, stir to mix and add the ice cubes. Stir again and serve.
Reviews
White rum can never substitute cachaça – otherwise it’s not a caipirinha.
I like that the recipe mentions to add sugar to taste – just don’t make it too sweet!!
so easy and so good!!
