Caipirinha

Built in the glass, so there's nothing to wash up but the glass.

1 drink 4 ingredients 3 steps
Caipirinha

Ingredients

  • 60 ml cachaça
  • 1 lime, cut into eight wedges
  • 2 teaspoons caster sugar
  • Ice

Method

  1. Put the lime wedges and sugar in the glass and muddle — press and twist, don't pulverise. You're after the juice and the oil in the skin, not the bitter pith.
  2. Fill with crushed ice and pour the cachaça over.
  3. Stir up from the bottom until the glass frosts.
