Caipiroska

The well-known Brazilian caipirinha is made with cachaça, a liquor distilled from sugarcane. Equally popular throughout South America is the caipiroska, a vodka-based drink made in a similar way with lots of fresh lime. The limes are pounded with sugar first, before the ice and vodka are added. Caipiroskas are best served with a beach in view, on the beach itself, or with a beach in mind.
