- 5 whole limes
- 3 tbsp sugar
- 3/4 cup cachaça
- ice to taste
juice 3 of the limes and set aside - you'll want about a 1/3 of a cup of juice, give or take
cut the other 2 limes in 8 pieces each
Add the sugar and the lime pieces to a cup and muddle until you've juiced all the little pieces and they're nicely combined with the sugar
add the lime juice and the cachaça to the muddled limes and stir gently to dissolve the sugar - approx. 2 minutes
fill 2 cups with ice, and top them with caipirinha
