Friday’s Cocktail: Caiparinha. 2 1/2 oz Cachaça, 1/2 lime, 2 tsp sugar. Cut the lime into wedges and muddle with the sugar in a glass. Be sure not to crush the peel or your drink will be bitter. Add the Cachaça, fill with ice, and stir. Sip and enjoy! If you have not tried Cachaça yet, it is an 80 proof sugar cane-based rum from Brazil, with a flavor between light rum and tequila. Parassanunga 51 is the most popular (and the 4th most popular liquor in the entire world), but there are many artisanl brands, though the can be hard to find. 51 costs only about $18/liter in the US.
