the caipirinha dialogues

From a recent IM conversation. Pardon our spelling, we plead IM.

limette.jpgBlogger X: We were at the Big Hunt until about 11 and then the strongest of us who hadn't bailed yet went next door to Cafe Citron. Citron is crazy, man. but the music was nice

Blogger Y: you know, I fear I may never actually have been- now that is tragic. I must go forthwith

Blogger X: it's neat, i think they have good caipirinhas (sp?), although i had consumed six glasses of stout so i didn't try anything else after that

Blogger Y: i've never had one- what's in it?

Blogger X: um, i'll have to look it up to be sure... lime, very distinct lime taste, and, um... wow. i dunno. can check online. They're notorious for being more potent than you think they are. it's one of those "proceed with caution"drinks

Blogger Y: hehe, the kind i refuse to procede with caution with and pay for it 2 hours later

Blogger X: 2 tsp granulated Sugar, 1 Lime (8 Wedges), 2 1/2 oz Cachaca. i have no idea what cachaca is. but they're tasty. i dig recipes that i dont understand the ingredients.

Blogger X: here we go: Cachaça is a Brazilian liquor made from distilled sugar cane juice

Blogger Y: there's only one thing to do- write a paragraph about it for dcfud

Blogger X: sure. maybe we could make it all interactive and people will say where they have had good ones.

Blogger Y: write it baby, write it :)

Blogger X: i shall. i had a good one at the Grill from Ipanema.

The Grill has very good ones. The ones at Bossa are good too, but the service there sucks. Chaos has them, but they tend to mistake them for mojitos.

Apparently I had a good one at the bar at the Paramount New York- wrong city but if anyone happens to crave one while near times square this new years, I guess you know where to go.

The Grill from Ipanema does make very good caipirinhas. So do Cafe Atlantico and Jaleo.

One thing to remember about the recipe -- you need to muddle the limes and sugar before you add the cachaca.

cheers!
