Caipirinha

Created by Dalio Calado,
Mixologist







Ingredients:

1 Whole Lime (select a nice juicy one)
1 Tbl. Sugar (substitute Splenda for a low calorie version)
2 oz. Cachaca da Rosa*
.5oz. Plain Seltzer Water
Crushed Ice**
 
Preparation
Cut off the lime "edges".  Cut a lime wheel from one end and reserve for
garnish.  Cut lime into quarters.  In a shaker, muddle lime and sugar.  Add
crushed ice and Cachaca, shake well.  Add Seltzer and pour into a rocks
glass, garnish with lime wheel and serve.
Dalio's Notes:
*Cachaca da Roca is one of my favorite Cachacas currently on the American
market not only because you can feel the "essence" of this spirit, but also
because it is extremely affordable.  Cachaca is extremely cheap in Brazil.
**I like to use crushed ice because it "breaks" the Cachaca better and makes it
more pleasant to most drinkers, but it is acceptable to serve over the more
commonly used ice cubes.
