The caipirinha is the typical drink of Brazil. Sugar, limes, and cachaca (a hard alcohol made from sugar cane juice) are smashed together and shaken to create a refreshing beverage that makes us believe we are walking along Ipanema Beach. Watch our video on how to make a caipirinha and make some for your friends this weekend. Tip* If you do not have a martini shaker, just smash everything together in a glass jar, close the lid, shake, and pour.
