Caipirinha

Step 3Mash the ingredients

Mash the ingredients
Mash the two ingredients (sugar and lime) with a muddler or a spoon. Be careful not to press too much, to avoid the lime to release its acid part contained in the peel.

Then fill the glass with crushed ice.

  This is an excellent instructable on how to make a great authentic caipirinha! I have one minor quibble with this step, though. The skin of a lime contains lime oil...the acid is in the fruit. By muddling the fruit (mashing it with a spoon or muddler), you release both the juice of the fruit and the oil of the skin. The juice provides the acidity, and the oil a lovely floral quality. So I would encourage folks not to be shy in the muddling step!
 BTW, I love your caipirinha pic! It looks soooooooooo delicious it's got me wanting one!
