Drink
Capirinha is synonym of Brazil, there's no doubt about that.
Made with cachaça (ka-SHAAH-suh) it's Brazi's national cocktail. Cachaça is the nation's spirit, a cousin of rum and is made from 100% fresh cane juice (unlike rum, which is made from molasses).

Would you like to make a perfect caipirinha? Here's our head bartender's method:
Place 4 lime wedges in a glass. Add 2 tablespoons of white sugar.
Mash lime and sugar with a muddler for about 15 seconds. Muddling well is key as it releases all of the lime's flavour and mixes the sugar with the fruit.
Fill the glass with ice (crushed ice is ideal as it will slightly melt in the mixing process and help to blend all flavours).
Add 50ml of cachaça
Place a shaker securely over glass and shake for 5 to 10 seconds.
Pour all the contents of the shaker into a glass. Add ice, garnish with a fresh lime and pronto!
