World Cup Caipirinha!

In honor of the World Cup soccer games this weekend, here's a great Brazilian caipirinha recipe to sip while watching the action!

1/2 lime, quartered
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
2 1/2 ounces cachaca (Brazilian spirit made from sugarcane juice)
1 cup ice

Squeeze 2 pieces of the lime into the bottom of a cocktail glass. Add the 2 wedges and sugar. Mash together with a spoon. Add the remaining 2 lime wedges, cachaca and ice and mix well. Serve!
