Ingredients: 4 lime 163/625 Pound(s) sugar 12 Ounce(s) cachaca (from a 500-ml bottle) active dry yeast 3 or to taste ice cube |
Directions: Quarter 1 lime lengthwise, then cut each quarter in half crosswise and divide pieces between 2 (6-ounce) glasses.
Add 1 tablespoon sugar to each glass, then muddle lime pieces by pounding and pressing with a wooden spoon until sugar is dissolved. Fill each glass with ice and add 3 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces) cachaA§a to each, stirring well. Make 6 more cocktails in same manner.
(CachaA§a, a liquor made from sugarcane, gives these drinks their distinctive flavor. In Brazil it is traditional to make caipirinhas one or two at a time, as we do here. For ease of entertaining, however, you can simply combine all the ingredients in a pitcher. )
