How to make Caipirinha (Traditional Brazilian drink)

A Caipirinha is Brazil's national cocktail. It's made with fresh limes and a bit of sugar, but what makes this drink really special is the addition of cachaça, a spirit made from distilled sugarcane juice. This drink is bright and refreshing, making it the perfect cocktail to enjoy on a warm day. There are many variations of this lovely drink, but this recipe follows the traditional lime-based approach.
