===What is caipirinha?===
'''Caipirinha''' is Brazil's national cocktail, made with [[cachaça]], [[sugar]] and [[lime]]. [[Cachaça]] is Brazil's most common distilled alcoholic beverage. Like [[rum]], it is made from sugarcane. Cachaça is made from [[sugarcane]] alcohol, obtained from the fermentation of sugarcane juice which is afterwards distilled.

Once almost unknown outside Brazil, the drink has become more popular and more widely available in recent years, in large part due to the rising availability of first-rate brands of [[cachaça]] outside Brazil. The International Bartender Association has designated it as one of their Official Cocktails.
The word "caipirinha" is the diminutive version of the word "caipira", which refers to someone from the countryside, being an almost exact equivalent of the American English hillbilly. The word may be used as either a masculine or a feminine noun, but when referring to this drink it is only feminine (usage of diminutives is conspicuous in Brazil). However, a Brazilian hardly ever thinks of a "country person" when ordering a "Caipirinha". In the mind of a Brazilian, the word "Caipirinha" is mostly associated with the drink itself.
