HOW to MAKE a CAIPIRINHA
Bourdain 's Favorite Caipirinha Recipe
1 and a half Limes cut into 12 pieces
1 - 2 tablespoons Sugar
2 ounces Cachaca
Club Soda (optional)
1 slice of Lime for Garnish
To make your Caipirinha, add the cut-up Lime into a Rocks Glass with the Sugar. Depending on the degree of sweetness that you'd like your Caipirinha, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of Sugar.
If you have a wooden muddler, muddle (mash) the limes and sugar together until thoroughly mashed. If you don't have a muddler, use a wooden spoon.
Now fill the glass with Ice and add the Cachaca.
If you'd like, add an optional splash of Club Soda.
Garnish with a slice of Lime and serve.
