Caipirinhas are the tastiest blend of tart (because limes), sweet (because sugar) and STRONG (because 80 proof). So if you’re out here in these Olympic streets sipping a caipirinha, (or at home taking the action in from your couch), be easy because the buzz force is strong with this one.

TIPS:
Rinse your limes so they’re nice and clean and pat them dry before cutting them into wedges.
If you don’t have a proper muddler, use a wooden spoon to press the limes and sugar together.
Shake your caipirinha well, 30-45 seconds, to make sure the sugar is dissolved.
