Inez’s Caipirinha
I know this post is a few weeks late; as the World Cup was held in Brazil a while ago, but it is still summer and summer means cool drinks with friends. While on our western trip we met some new friends, one of whom is from Brazil. Inez instructed me on the proper method for making a Caipirinha, the national drink of Brazil. Not only was I making them wrong but according to Inez the proper way to enjoy the caipirinha is to pass the glass around the table while drinking beer; kind of a communal cup of joy.
This drink is the perfect for making new friends, enjoying old friends or just to have a refreshing drink while relaxing. A word of warning, too many caipirinhas make make your head pound to the tune of , “GOAL, GOAL, GOAL!”
