This delicious Brazilian staple is called a "Caipirinha".  It's made with 2 ounces of Cachaca, 2 tsp of sugar, and 4 lime wedges that are muddled and blended with ice and mint.  These babies are one of the most delicious bevvies one could every drink.  I highly recommend them...however be careful....they sneak up on you and punch you right in the face when you least expect it! If you are not a rum fan, don't worry.......they are just as good with vodka!  I have been wise and have stayed away from them until today (bad memories from Pan Am Games in 2007) but had to indulge while on the Copacabana Beach today. Look terrible huh!

      Don't make this glorious drink with Tequila, to do so is to disrespect the Cachaça gods...lolol

    I want to reach through my screen with a straw. Only peeked in on a bit of your game this AM but it all looked under control.
