Break it down
In Brazil, I mean, Brasil, caipirinhas are drunk by every patriotic citizen. In fact, each person has a glass of it in one hand and a soccer ball at his feet at all times. You think it'd be funny to watch a child master these mandatory activities, but it really isn't. Now, the elderly...HA!
So anyways, a caipirinha is made with cachaca, which is a sugarcane liquor, mashed-up limes, and sugar (simple syrup). It's good stuff. Last night, I ran out of cachaca, but had lots of limes and syrup left. So I made a virgin caipirinha and got a good buzz on. I think the limes were really old.
This morning when I woke up amongst the smashed limes, I only had the simple syrup left. I mixed it with ice and made a pre-teen caipirinha. It was eye-opening sweet, but I enjoyed it all the same.
Now, this is all that's left:
The only other thing I need is a spoon.

Next time I go to Brasil, I shall bring you back some raw sugar cane to naw on, so you can have the most pure, most virginal "caipirinha" experience possible.
