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 mash the sugar and limes together. Work until you have started to disolve the sugar and have a good amount of juice.

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
