Caipirinha

Recipe Courtesy MarthaStewart.com - Adults only - contains alcohol


Servings: 6 - 8 people


4 limes
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 cups fresh lime juice (about 16 limes)
1 1/2 cups cachaça


Cut each of the 4 limes into 8 wedges. Muddle the lime wedges and sugar with a wooden spoon in a pitcher. Add fresh pressed lime juice  and cachaça until the sugar has dissolved. Pour the caipirinhas into ice-filled glasses.


Can be made the day before and stored in the fridge before serving. Pour the caipirinhas into ice-filled glasses and serve.


This drink is very easy to drink, but be careful as it is very strong in alcohol and will make you dizzy if consuming more than 1 glass.
