All Brazilian sugar comes from sugar-cane. Beat sugar just doesn´t taste as good. Although shaking is good, it should be a light shake, not too vigorous. Some pros even say not to shake; just stir.

The more acidic, the better. It balances it out the sugar and tames the bite of the alcohol. I suggest: - pinapple - kiwis - red berries - passion fruit - persian limes Some bars in São Paulo get really creative. I've had an incredible starfruit and basil capirinha. Tchim!

Some bars in São Paulo get really creative. I’ve had an incredible starfruit and basil capirinha.

Coming from a restaurant that features 30 brands of cachaca, I can vouch for the correctness of these instructions. Unrefined sugar works best.
