This cinnamon caipirinha recipe combines cinnamon and lime; an unlikely combination that is surprisingly smooth. Cinnamon prevents blood sugar from spiking, so maybe (although don't take our word for it), you won't get such a sugar rush after imbibing this cozier version of our favorite Brazilian cocktail!
Cut up two limes into small chunks.
Using a mortar and pestle, grind the limes with about 1-2 tablespoons of organic cane sugar. Make sure you get all of the juice out of the limes.
Transfer the sugar, limes, and juice to a martini shaker.* Sprinkle on some cinnamon (just a tad).
Add some ice and a good pouring of Cachaca (about 2 to 3 ounces).
Cover, give it a good shaking, and pour out everything into two cocktail glasses.
*If you do not have a martini shaker, you can smash up the ingredients in a glass jar, then cover with its lid to shake.
