1 lime, cut into wedges
2 teaspoons sugar
4 ounces cachaca

This drink uses cachaca (pronounced ka-sha-sa), a sugar cane spirit from Brazil. The flavors of sweetened limes can be deceptive, the proportion of cachaca makes this a strong cocktail!
Place lime wedges in a tumbler. Add sugar, and muddle it into the lime. Add the cachaca. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
Fill a glass with ice. Pour caipirinha over ice and garnish glass with a lime wedge.
