The best Brazilian caipirinha is made with high-quality cachaça, fresh limes, the right amount of sugar, and plenty of ice. It should be perfectly balanced—refreshing, tart, and slightly sweet—with a strong but smooth cachaça presence.A wonderful mix of sweet, sour and strong. The lime should be tart and zesty, the sugar should provide a subtle sweetness, and the cachaça should shine through without overpowering the drink.
