Caipirinha

June 11th, 2006

This is one of Ellen’s favorite cocktails, which she first had when she was studying abroad in Bonn, Germany. She most frequently indulged in caipirinhas at the outdoor bier garten of Casa Del Gato amidst friends drinking sangria and eating Margherita pizzas. She likes their sweet but tart flavor with the texture of crushed limes mixed with brown sugar and crushed ice.

• 2 teaspoons brown sugar
• 1 lime, cut in wedges
• 1.5 oz Cachaca (Brazilian sugar cane rum)

Muddle lime with sugar in the glass. Fill with crushed ice. Add Cachaca and stir well.
