Don't like the mint of a mojito...Try this!

There is a popular Brazilian drink that I have tried once and it was almost orgasmic called a Caipirinha (Pronounced kay-pur-een-ya). Similar to the mojito you make it with a muddled lime and sugar syrup, but with no mint. Instead of rum you use cachaça (Pronounced: Ka-cha-sa; Brazilian sugar cane rum...good stuff, different from regular white rum). A great cachaça that you can get in some liquor stores in the US is Leblon. Here's a video I found on Youtube that demonstrates making a Caipirinha. Enjoy!



The Leblon site also has a Caipirinha of the month contest with different variations on the traditional drink. Check it out.
Besos!
