Caipirinha
The Caipirinha is Brazil's national cocktail, featuring a vibrant balance of tart lime and robust cachaca. It is the ultimate refreshing drink for hot summer evenings and festive gatherings. For the best texture, use fine white granulated sugar so it dissolves easily directly in the fresh lime juice.
