Brazil's national cocktail is the Caipirinha. It's made with cachaca, Brazil's most popular liquor. If you don't have access to that liquor, you can substitute vodka or light rum, which is what we did.
It's a truly refreshing drink for hot summer days and evenings.
1 1/2 cups pureed fresh pineapple (2 cups diced)
1 cup cachaca, light rum or vodka
1/2 cup fresh lime juice
1/2 cup superfine sugar
crushed ice
lime wheel
pineapple wedge
In a blender, add diced pineapple chunks and puree until smooth.
Add liquor, lime juice and sugar and blend until completely combined.
Divide among four glasses filled with crushed ice. Garnish with lime wheels and pineapple wedges.
