You Will Need:

* A whole lime

* 1 tsp. sugar

* 2 oz. cachaça

* Ice

* A tumbler

* A muddler

Step 1: Wash and cut lime

Wash the lime and slice it into wedges.

Step 2: Muddle the sugar and limes

Add the lime wedges and a teaspoon of sugar to the glass. Muddle them thoroughly.

*Tip: A muddler is a fancy bar term for a blunt wooden object used to crush fruit. If you don't have one, a pestle or wooden spoon will do.

Step 3: Add cachaça and stir

Add two ounces of cachaça, a Brazilian spirit distilled from sugarcane. Stir.

Step 4: Add ice and stir

Add ice and stir briskly. Now which way to the dance floor?

Fact:

The caipirinha began as a rural drink and comes from the Portuguese word for hillbilly.
