How to make a true Brazilian Caipirinha


A sharp knife is especially important here because a dull knife will squeeze the fruit into a misshapen lump, which will make your wedges look weird. Cut the lime into eight wedges (not slices) and remove the white part in the middle (to avoid bitterness)

Cut the Lime in the middle


Cut again


Remove the white part 


Cut again and the result will be a lime cut into eight wedges



Muddle four of the lime pieces with two teaspoons of sugar if you’re a sweetthooth maybe more, or else a little bit less.


Add two shots of Cachaça


Fill the glass with ice cubes. Do not use crush ice the true brazilian Capirinha uses ice cubes.

Stir and serve with a straw
