going to make a jugful. Chop several limes roughly, into eighths,
say. Crush the lime pieces and throw them along with their juice into
the jug. Add crushed ice, white suger and plenty of rum. Stir well and
serve immediately, lime pieces and all. Important note: The rum
should be Brazilian rum ("Pinga" or "Cachac,a", ie. cedilla on the
second c, some brands are Velho Barreiro, Pitu', Casa Grande,
Tatuzinho) and the limes should be limes. Cachac,a has a very
different taste from, say, Bacardi, apparently because it is only
refined once so contains esters and other compounds that are removed
by more distillation (that's a story I've been told, anyway.)
Variations are: Caipirosca, made with vodka instead of rum.
Cajurosca, made with cashew fruit and vodka. I forget the name, made
with pineapple and vodka. CHILE-HEADS DIGEST V3 #039 From the
