How to make a proper capirinha
-
Finely slice or cut up a lime and dump in a glass.
-
Add 2 heaping tablespoons of unrefined or brown sugar.
-
Muddle until no sugar grains are visible and it looks syrupy.
-
Pour in 3 oz. of cachaça. Yeah, you heard me.
-
Stir, then add ice until the glass is full.
-
Sip, don't gulp. It's a lot stronger than it tastes.

Saúde!
