Caipirinha

Caipirinha
Yield: 4 drinks
Time: 8 minutes
Adapted from Cafe Atlantico, Washington

2 Limes, each cut lengthwise into eighths
4 Tbsp. Superfine Sugar
8 oz Cachaça

Place four lime pieces in a 9-oz. rocks glass, and sprinkle with 1 tbsp. sugar. With a wooden spoon, muddle lime and sugar for about 30 seconds to release oils in lime skin; do not crush lime.

Fill the glass with ice cubes, and add 2 oz. cachaça. Cover with the lid of a cocktail shaker, and shake vigorously for 30 seconds. Serve in the same glass. Repeat to make four drinks.
