While in Denver we had the complete pleasure of meeting Sergio Augusto and his family.
They live next door to our dear friend Brooke with whom we stayed. They all became such a special part of our lives. Each one in their own way made our time in Denver better ----by helping us with our children, hugs, smiles, friendship and at the end of a long day--- sharing good company, a Brazilian Caipirinha and some amazing music
How to make a Brazilian Caipirinha
For each Brazilian Caipirinha Sergio style you need 1 lime.
Remove the center part of the lime to keep the drink from becoming bitter.
Thinly slice the limes.
Place limes in a glass.
Add about 1 Tablespoon of sugar (you will have to adjust for your taste).
With a muddler
Fill the entire glass with ice.
Fill the glass with Vodka. Traditional recipes call for a shot of alcohol but I have to say these have slightly shy of a 1/2 cup of vodka. To be authentic use Cachaca.
Stir.
Cheers!
Best enjoyed with good friends and this
I hope you all will take the time to visit Sergio's Webisite and learn more about this talented man!

You’ve made my day today with this post, I am from Brasil and love Caipirinha. I also live in Denver like your friend Sergio and when i was a little one, i used to live on the same building as the Garota de Ipanema bar, where the song was created. so i can say i am a true garota de ipanema. Thank you for reminding me about my childhood and adulthood with the caipirinha. Saude(cheers) Leilane
This drink has DEFINITELY become the favorite of all guests now coming to visit….however, I use 4 T of sugar…..must be the sweet tooth! And of course it is even better with Sergio singing! He’s now on YouTube following his wonderful Father’s Day event at Dazzle Jazz Club here in Denver….come on back anytime for hospitality, Brazilian style!
