Brazil’s national cocktail and a true powerhouse of simplicity, the Caipirinha is proof that less is more. Made with just cachaça (Brazil’s sugarcane spirit), fresh lime, and sugar, this drink is bright, zesty, and refreshingly strong. Traditionally muddled and served over ice, the Caipirinha is as much about the ritual as the taste—sip one, and you’re instantly transported to a sun-soaked beach in Rio.
