Ingredients to make Caipirinha with rum:
- 2 tablespoons of Sugar

How to make Caipirinha with rum:
- The first thing we must do to make the caipirinha is cut the limes into quarters, this is the traditional cut but if you prefer you can leave them sliced.
- Place the limes in the bottom of a wide-mouthed glass and mash them together with the sugar. This means that you crush them, it can be with a mortar, until all the juice is extracted and mixed with the sugar.
- If you have time, you can let it rest for a few minutes so that the limes release all their flavor.
- Next, fill the glass with the crushed ice and immediately after, add the rum. Shake with a mixer, stirring from top to bottom so that the rum reaches the bottom of the glass and the lime-sugar mixture rises.
- Garnish the rum caipirinha cocktail glasses with a few lime wedges and enjoy. And if you like rum cocktails you can also try the famous Cuban mojito or try the original caipirinha with cachaça.
