Caipirinha
Caipirinha (pronounced kai-purr-REEN-yah) roughly translates to "country bumpkin" and it is the national drink of Brazil, where it originated, and is a common Carnavale drink.
It is made with cachaça, a Brazillian spirit that is made from fresh sugarcane juice. The market is changing and now it is possible to easily find a premium cachaça to use in this drink, which is highly recommended because it is the main component of the drink.
