Description
Although the real origin of caipirinha as we know it today is unknown, according to one account it began around 1918 in the state of Sao Paulo with a popular recipe made with lime, garlic and honey, indicated for patients with the Spanish flu; Today it is still being used as a remedy for the common cold. As it was quite common to add some distilled spirits to home remedies in order to expedite the therapeutic effect, rum was commonly used. "Until one day someone decided to remove the garlic and honey. Then added a few tablespoons sugar to reduce the acidity of lime. The ice came next, to ward off the heat, explains Carlos Lima, executive director of IBRAC Brazilian Institute of Cachaça.
