Sweet Thursday Samba Night - Recipe for Caipirinhas on the house
Tonight I'm in the mood for a bit of sweet samba music from Brazil. So, I suppose we should order a Caipirinha (national cocktail of Brazil) or two and enjoy these sweet samba sounds. Barefoot is best so, kick off those shoes, let your hair down...
Recipe for Caipirinhas:
1 lime
1 1/2 tsp sugar (raw is best) plus sugar for rim of drinking glass
1.5 oz Cachaça
ice
- cut lime in half
- place cut sides up
- crush lime and sugar with a pestile until sugar is disolved
- wet rim of glass
- lightly press or roll rim into sugar until coated.
- place muddled lime and sugar mixture in glass
- fill glass almost to the top with ice
- fill glass with Cachaça
- stir
Cachaça (pronounced ka-shah-sa) is much like rum, though it is made with pure sugar cane as opposed to molasses. You may substitute Cachaça in this drink with high content rum. The taste won't be exact, but it comes near and is still enjoyable. There are many variations to this drink, adding fruits, for example. Experiment, or check out some Caipirinhas variations recipes on the web.

Sim, eu amo caipirinha! É maravilhoso. Eu tentei há alguns anos, talvez cinco, e deve tê-la no verão. Eu escrevi um artigo sobre o Brasil e pensei que esta seria uma boa adição.
Estou encantado que você chegou a esta página e que você tenha aproveitado tanto. Claro que você pode adicionar-me. Gostaria muito.
E obrigado pela tradução. Muito lindo.
Se minhas palavras foram mal, não me diga, ou se você preferir me responderam em Inglês,(because my translation is making you laugh =D) que é bom também.
Maravilhoso conhecer-te. Obrigado muito.
beijos, Frieda

Either way, although I can't make it to Carnival this year, I'll make do with drinking a few of these and listening to the music...
I go by taste, but I do try to keep the quantities as much in proportion as possible, yes, and then I taste and add some of this or that depending on my mood.
Hope you had a wonderful time.
