Latin Infused

Tonight, my friends and I are going to the Pitbull and Enrique Iglesias concert. In celebration of Latin-infused music, I thought I'd leave you with the recipe for one of my favorite Latin-infused drinks, and the national drink of Brazil: The Caipirinha!

This drink uses cachaca (sugar cane rum), sugar and limes to make a sweet, refreshing libation.

2 tsp granulated sugar

8 lime wedges

2 1/2 ounces cachaca

Muddle the sugar and lime wedges into a glass. Fill the glass with ice cubes and pour in the cachaca. 

Saude! (Cheers in Portuguese)
