This is the most famous cocktail in Brazil. It is made of "cachaça" (pronounced "kah-SHAH-sah"), an alcoholic beverage made with fermented sugar cane.
Ingredients:
3 limes, cut in quarters
7 tablespoons of sugar
3/4 cup (180 ml) cachaça *
3 cups ice cubes
Preparation:
Smash the limes in a mortar. Transfer to a pitcher, together with the sugar and cachaça. Stir until sugar is mostly dissolved. Add the ice. If you want sweeter, add some more sugar.
* You can change to rum instead. The Brazilians call this version "caipirissima". Or vodka. Called "caipiroska" in Brazil. The taste is a bit different.
