Here's another. We drank these together at a Brazilian Steakhouse on South Beach a couple months ago...
Caipirinhas
caipirinhas also benefit from the making the simple syrup with turbinado but without the egg white, awesome stuff, I use it in my bbq sauce as well…
I have not tasted enough different cachacha’s yet to determine which is better nor pisco’s…Research is hell…
Regular lime juice (I haven’t tried Key limes yet) , 1 to 1 with the lime juice and simple syrup and 2-3 parts cachacha, I prefer a little stronger so it was 4 for me.. I shake hard on ice and the pour over fresh ice, sugar rimmed glass for the ladies…I even saw a caipirinha “kit” at a crown liquors store, beats a kit in the nuts..
The classic recipe is below per an actual brazillion I know but a pain in the ass if you need to make a bunch, like a Coleman 2 gallon beverage cooler at a time. ;-)
2 small limes cut into eighths; 2 teaspoons superfine sugar; 2 ounces cachaça
Place the lime sections in a wide-mouthed glass or a bowl (often a blunt, wooden stick is used, but a wooden spoon will suffice), sprinkle with sugar, and muddle until the sugar dissolves. Place in a rocks glass and add ice. Top with the cachaça and add a stirring stick. I use a chunk of sugar cane cut into strips for the stir sticks like we had in Miami, prolly a little tough to get up there in the tundra.
