Demerara sugar takes over from the usual white sugar in this Caipirinha, muddled with lime and cachaca into something warmer and more caramelized than the standard version. That deeper sweetness plays beautifully against cachaca's grassy funk -- a good pick for anyone who finds the classic Caipirinha a little too sharp. Served Brazilian-style, over crushed ice.
Muddle the sugar into the lime wedges in an old-fashioned glass. Fill the glass with ice cubes. Pour the cachaca into the glass. Stir well.
