Brazilian Caiprinha

Instructions

Brazil’s national drink! This cocktail has a real zing thanks to the ginger, lime and mint leaves.

• Squeeze lime wedges into a pitcher, putting the spent wedges in too.
• Add the sugar and ginger and bash for a few minutes with the end of a wooden rolling pin.
• Half fill the jug with crushed ice and bash again.
• Pour in the Cachaça and stir well.
• Taste it and add more sugar or lime if needed.
• Fill up the jug with crushed ice, tear in mint leaves, give it a good stir and serve.
