Caipirinhas image

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.

I thought this caipirinha recipe was just okay. It wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my caipirinha didn't turn out very good. It was too sour and not sweet enough.

I love how this caipirinha recipe uses fresh limes. It makes the drink so much more flavorful than using bottled lime juice.

I've tried many caipirinha recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The secret is in the muddled limes - they really bring out the flavor of the cachaça.
