Brazil: My first caipirinha....delicioso!

Our first day in Rio.....we landed at about 8am, and decided the best way to handle our lack of sleep on the plane was to start drinking and hit the beach! What a beautiful day...did I mention it's Brazil's winter in August? A winter I can surely handle...

Best way to stay cool in these beautiful, warm winters is by refreshing yourself with a tasty caipirinha....perhaps a little too sweet after having 2, but delicious nonetheless....and strong :) 

Ingredients:

*Sugar

*Lime

*Cachaca

Quantities for 1 drink:

*2 tsp Granulated Sugar

Stay tuned, as we will be doing some of the finest "touristy" things in the next episode....Papa Christo here we come!

Cheers to a good life!
