Getting started - If you don't have Cachaça (the brazilian distilled made from fermented sugarcane juice) you can also do it with vodka or sake the Japanese one (yes!).

These are the most famous cachaças in Brazil: Velho Barreiro and 51. Of course you have many other options but the most common are these 2 babies.

Ok, let's start!!

Ingredients: cachaça, lime, sugar and ice! (how easy is that!)

First step: cut the green lime in 4 parts. SECRET: cut off the white thing inside.

TIPS. You can use KIWI instead of lime, or passion fruit. Strawberries is always a good idea also. You mix the fruits you must like and enjoy your drink!
