The caiprinhia cocktail was designated the national cocktail of brazil, and has simple ingredients of limes, cachaca liqueur, superfine sugar and crushed ice. for flavor variations, you can add other fruits like raspberries or cherries, or even cucumbers are popular in the summertime. but the authentic version is the lime caipirinha.
