By Connie Veneracion
Boa idéia caipirinha, a cachaça-based drink, is a blazing topaz blue that all I could think of was the tropical sea on a summer day between sunrise and noon.

Connie’s Notes

Cachaça is a distilled spirit made from sugarcane juice. It is not rum.
Can rum be subtituted for cachaça? The Brazilians will object but we have done that at times when we’ve run out of cachaça.
