Caipirinha Report
So I had five of the Caipirinhas this evening. Two I got by queuing twice in the drinks line; one Bret Fausett handed me unexpectedly, and two more were provided by waiters at dinner after I asked for red wine.

Posted by: Brad DeLong at December 6, 2006 10:33 PMJust remember that a slang expression for cachaça is pinga (from the verb pingar,meaning to drip as it is distilled). In Miami, you definitely don't want to go into a liquor store and ask for a bottle of pinga . . .
My father-in-law in Minas Gerais has an alembique (i.e., a still) on his farm where he makes cachaça from the sugar cane that he grows. It's pleasant enough to drink straight.
You can also make other drinks with cachaça. See if you can get a batida de cajá while you're there. It's probably one of the tastiest drinks I've ever had.
