Eric's Caipirinha
Rocks glass
Kiwifruit slice.
1. Cut a ripe lime in half (from pole to pole) and remove the core from each half by cutting a cut a v-shaped grove. You'll need one-half of the lime per drink and this should be chopped into wedges and each wedge chopped in half before dropping the resulting 6 or 8 lime chunks into the Rocks glass. 2. Add 1 gram of demerara sugar + 10ml simple sugar syrup (or 5ml rich) and MUDDLE HARD. 3. When sure the limes's juice is fully extracted but the sugar not entirely dissolved, POUR cachaça (stored in the freezer) and STIR with spoon. 4. Use cubed ice scraps, (the cubes that haven't set with a perfect shape or that are not complete) and drop into serving glass (they will melt faster and provide a constant welcome dilution). STIR before topping with more ice scaps and serve with a kiwifruit slice.
