Caipirinha

Directions

1. 1
   Roll the limes on a work surface, pressing hard to bruise them slightly so they release more juice.

3. 3
   Halve the remaining 2 limes.
4. 4
   In a blender, combine the lime halves, lime juice, cachaca, and sugar.
5. 5
   Blend until the lime halves are pureed, about 1 minute.
6. 6
   Pour the mixture into glasses filled with crushed ice, and serve immediately.
