Caipirinhas

Cachaca is a potent sugarcane liquor. If you can’t find it, use light rum instead.

3 limes, halved

1 / 4 cup sugar

1 1 / 2 cups cachaca

• Place a lime half in each of 6 tumblers, and sprinkle each with 2 teaspoons sugar. Using a wooden reamer, crush the flesh of the limes.
• Fill the glasses with crushed ice, and divide the cachaca evenly among them. Stir well, and serve.
