The caipirinha combines cachaça, lime, sugar and ice. The lime and sugar are gently muddled in the glass; the ice and cachaça are added afterward. This Brazilian variation adds the tart, aromatic pulp of passion fruit, with some of its black seeds, for a fresh drink with a tropical flavor.
It comes together in a moment, with no shaker or blender needed, and makes two glasses.
