Downing Caipirinhas

If there is one thing you should do when you're in Brazil, its having a few caipirinhas while you're chilling out by the beach watching the sunset.

Caipirinhas are made with Cachaça, a sugar-cane spirit. A typical caipirinha is made by crushing limes with sugar, then adding the cachaça and ice and shaking it. Yuummmm. Here is a pic of me and the guys at the hostal in Barra da Lagoa having a few caipirinhas.
