Brazilian Dodge Dart 76 (similar to 69 usa)
I use 2 or 3 spoon of sugar (granulate) into a glass...
chop half lemon (just wash it) and knead it with sugar and 1/4 of glass with caxaça (ka tcha sa ) or vodka.. I prefer vodka..
.. you have a juice as result.. add some ice..
You may remove the lemon from glass...
now I chip the other half lemon ... use it as decoration (and while I drink, I knead it to)...
You may add more caxaça (or vodka) and water... try do mix some glasses... there is not a rule to make caipirinha..
