Horrible photo of a semi Caiprinhia

Rum Caiprinhia
First place brave enough to attempt to make one. They used rum instead of cachaca though, its a good drink, but sadly not as great as a real caiprinhia. The sugar cane garnish is a great touch to make up for the lack of authenticity in regards to the main ingredient. The rest of the U.S. should learn from Vegas.

Price so low I couldn't pass it up

Case of Ypioca Cachaca
So I went looking for a single bottle of Cachaca, but I couldn't find a place that stocks or has even heard of it. Finally yesterday I found one place with one type of Cachaca, but not the exact one I wanted. The owner was really friendly and said she could order whatever I wanted. While I was there the distributor was in the store, and he began to show me what he could get. I saw one that I've tried previously. I asked if there was a discount for a case. She quoted me a price for a case, I almost passed out it was so cheap. As long as there are limes, there will be a caipirinha in my hand. Hopefully that is an exaggeration, since I probably won't keep all twelve bottles for myself.

Caipirinha

Caipirinha
Cut a lime into 8 pieces. Pour some good sugar, I like Sugar in the Raw Brand (Turbinado) in the glass with the lime and crush. Add 1.5 ounces of cachaca (Distilled cane sugar from Brazil, not run of the mill Rum) and some crushed ice. Drink through a straw.
