CAIPIRINHA

This is a summer drink to appreciate before eating. Great with Brazilian barbecues.

1 lime quartered 
1 tablespoon of sugar
1 shot of cachaca 
1/2 cup of ice cubes with water

Place the lime and sugar in the bottom of a glass. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, crush and mash the limes. 

Pour in the liqueur and ice. Stir well. Decorate the glass with a slice of lime. 

Serving size: 1 glass
