Steps:
- Cut each of the lime halves into four chunks. Put in a large mortar with the sugar and squish well with a pestle to break them down - they will release their juices, leaving you with a sweet lime syrup. Remove the lime peel, squeeze to release the last bits of juice, then discard. Transfer the lime syrup to a small plastic container and freeze for at least 4 hrs, ideally overnight.
- When you're ready to make the cocktail, put the ice in a blender suitable for crushing ice, then add the frozen syrup and cachaça. Blend at a high speed until smooth and thick. Transfer to cocktail glasses or tumblers and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Remove 2 wide strips zest from the lime with a vegetable peeler; set aside. Cut the lime in half; thinly slice one half and cut the remaining half into 4 wedges for garnish.
- Bring 1/3 cup water and the sugar to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat; add 1/2 cup each basil and mint and the lime slices and let cool completely.
- Transfer the herb syrup to a blender and blend until the herbs are finely chopped (the limes will still be mostly intact). Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Freeze until slushy, about 2 hours.
- Combine the cachaça, limeade concentrate, lime zest, the remaining 1/2 cup each basil and mint and the frozen herb syrup in a blender. Add 5 cups ice and blend until thick and slushy; gradually add up to 1 more cup ice if needed. Pour into glasses and garnish each with a lime wedge.
CAIPIRINHAS
Cachaça, 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.

Steps:
- Place the lime pieces, pulp side up, in the bottom of an old fashioned glass or heavy tumbler. Add sugar to taste and crush the lime and sugar together with a pestle or the end of a wooden spoon (be sure to crush the pieces pulp side up or too much bitter lime oil will be released from the zest). Add the cachaca, stir to mix and add the ice cubes. Stir again and serve.
Tips for Making the Best Frozen Caipirinha:
- Use fresh limes: Fresh limes have a brighter, more flavorful juice that will make your caipirinha taste better.
- Freeze your limes before juicing: This will help to concentrate the lime flavor and make your caipirinha more refreshing.
- Use a good quality cachaça: Cachaça is the key ingredient in a caipirinha, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a cachaça that is made from 100% sugarcane and has a smooth, clean flavor.
- Add sugar to taste: Caipirinhas are traditionally made with sugar, but you can adjust the amount to suit your taste. If you like your caipirinhas tart, use less sugar. If you prefer them sweeter, add more sugar.
- Garnish with lime wedges and mint: This will add a pop of color and flavor to your caipirinha.
Conclusion:
The frozen caipirinha is a delicious and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a fun and festive drink, give the frozen caipirinha a try. You won't be disappointed!
