Not for the faint=hearted. After 3 drinks, even though your legs may be wobbly, you believe you can have a meaningful conversation on anything from the latest movie to quantum physics (just kidding).

Drink this one at home or take a designated driver along with you.

How to Make CAIPIRINHAS BRASIL (SALLYE)

Step-by-Step

1Cut limes in half cross-wise

Squeeze out juice from the lime halves and set aside.

Leave a little juice in lime halves so they are not completely dry.

Cut the limes with skin on into 1-1/2 inch cubes
2With a large mortar and pestle, crush the lime cubes with the sugar until you have a thick sweet syrup.

Note: If you don't have a mortar and pestle, you can use a heavy bowl and a wooden spoon (it just takes a little more work)
3Fill four short glasses with ice

Pour the syrupy mixture over the ice.

Add the cachaça or vodka and stir

Divide the reserved lime juice between the 4 glasses

Stir just to blend
4Serve with a smile ☺
