Caipirinhas image

Cachaça, a liquor made from sugarcane, gives these drinks their distinctive flavor. In Brazil it is traditional to make caipirinhas one or two at a time, as we do here. For ease of entertaining, however, you can simply combine all the ingredients in a pitcher.

Not bad, but not great. I found the drink to be a little too sour for my taste. I think I'll try adding more sugar next time.

So easy to make and so refreshing. I love that I can control the sweetness level by adding more or less simple syrup. I've also experimented with different fruits, like strawberries and oranges. Always a hit!
