Caipirinha
“CACHAÇA” (pronounced as ca-sha-sa), which is spirit distilled from sugar cane, an essential ingredient for caipirinha. This popular Brazilian drink is very easy to prepare. I love caipirinha and I always have some CACHAÇA at home, I’m not drinking it everyday but I feel like having some from time to time and I like to serve it for visitors as an appetizing drink served with some chippies and olives.
For 1 glass of caipirinha:
2 pieces lime
2 tablespoons sugar
1 glass finely crushed ice
1 shot of CACHAÇA
Cut off the ends of the lime with the white pitt and slice into two. Remove the white pitt at the center of each slice and cut into 2 parts. Litterally cut them into quarts without the bitter pitt at the center of the lime. Place the lime into a glass and add sugar; combine two ingredients by crushing with pestle until well combine and juice of the lime is well mixed with sugar. Add finely crushed ice and CACHAÇA; shake the mixture with a shaker. Pour back to the glass and serve.
Cheers!

Like a Cuban mojito? Mojito uses white rhum, though. They're probably related, coming from the same continent.
Hello!! You may try pure cachaça if you like. But I advise you to use those tequila small glass and Pitu. Velho Barreiro is great for capirinha, but no good for drink pure.
In Brazil we use to make the "curtidas". You just have to put something like: eucalyptus, mint candies, herbs, herbs with honey, pineapple (this one is excellent), butiá, and almost anything you can imagine, in a glass with cachaça. Let it rest for about 3 or 4 months and it will be great (speacilly the pineapple).
It's nice to make capirinha with orange too... well cachaça is great with anything.
You can mix cachaça with coca-cola (coke) or fanta (orange soft drink).. I wonder how it would be cachaça with redbull...
But we use to drink redbull with some jack daniels or johnny walker.
Well.. I hope you find cachaça a very versatile drink.
I also don't drink it everyday, because there are days when i need to work, you know. :D
Would you like me to talk something about chimarrão or churrasco gaúcho?
hello , anyone knows cacacha brand (engenhoreal ) ??
Hi @SVEN, I tried Pitu.. its good as well.
