Thirsty Thursday #3

This refreshing bitter-sweet Brazilian drink with a kick, looks just like lemonade, but boy it is a lot more than that. Of course it depends on how strong you make it!
The Caipirinha’s main culprit is Cachaça – a sugarcane liqueur which gives it a distinctive flavour. Traditionally, lime is used for this drink, but I used lemon.
On Sunday we had the pleasure of indulging in Portuguese cuisine at the Lusito Land Festival ( read about it in my next post) and this drink was certainly popular. I still had some left over Cachaça from last year, so I made some of my own yesterday. When it comes to food and drink….it just doesn’t taste the same at home. It’s got to go with the whole ambience!

Looks great. I’d um have to lose the beads though. You know, it’s a guy thing.:)
