How to prepare a caipirinha

The Caipirinha Recipe
* Cachaca (cachaza)
* Limes
* Superfine sugar
* Crushed ice
* A shaker glass
* A pestle (from a mortar and pestle -- or something similar) for themuddling
Preparation:
1. Cut the ends off of the lime and discard.
2. Cut the lime in half lengthwise and cut out the white pith in the middle.
3. Cut the lime in half, and cut one half of thelime into four wedges and place in the glass. If your lime is small, you will need to add more lime to the glass.
4. Add one to three tablespoons of sugar. The amount of sugar depends on yourpersonal taste as well as the size of the lime you are using.
5. Use the pestle to "muddle" the limes and sugar together. Basically, you want to crush the limes so that they mix in well with thesugar. When you've gotten all of the juice out of the lime, you're done.
6. Pack crushed ice in the glass all the way to the top.
7. Add cachaca all the way to the top of the glass. (It's reallyonly about 2 oz.)
8. Use a larger glass or bottom of a cocktail shaker and put it over the top of your drink. Pick up with two hands and shake very well for at least 15 seconds.
9. Garnish witha wedge or slice of lime.
10. Drink...and enjoy the best caipirinha!
