Caipirinha
🧂 Ingredients
- 2 oz cachaça (Brazilian rum)
- 1 lime
- 2 teaspoons raw sugar
- crushed ice
📖 Instructions
🍋 Muddle the Lime: Place the lime wedges in a glass and sprinkle the sugar over them. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the limes and release their juice. This helps the lime's oils mix with the sugar.
🥃 Add the Cachaça: Pour the cachaça over the muddled lime and sugar mixture.
🌀 Mix: Stir the mixture well to dissolve the sugar and combine the flavors.
🧊 Add Ice: Fill the glass with crushed ice and stir again.
✨ Garnish (optional): Add a lime wedge for garnish, if desired.
💡 Tip: For an added twist, you can experiment with fruit infusions like strawberry or passion fruit to give your Caipirinha a unique flavor!
