- Cut the 1/2 lime into 4 wedges.

Mixology Notes:
Cachaca is a distinctive base spirit. It smells similar to tequila, but the flavor is similar white rum, except its more fruity, herbaceous and spicy. Most people describe the flavor profile of Cachaca and this drink, to be half way between white rum and tequila. Legally, a Caipirinha must be made with cachaca and lime. For other fruit versions, see the Caipiroska Cocktail recipe.
