Caipirinha

1 lime

2 tea-spoon of sugar

Crushed ice cubes

Cachaça (distilled from sugar cane)

 

Cut the lime in four and put in a cocktail glass, add the sugar, mash the lime quarters coarsely; Fill the glass with ice cubes, add the cachaça and stir well.

You can add vodka instead of cachaça - in this case, you get  a caipiroshka.
