Tangerine Caipiroshka

This traditional Brazilian drink prepared with cachaça gets even better when it's made with a very sweet tangerine, also called mexerica in São Paulo Recently tried this. The bartender told me it's similar to a Caipirinha, the only thing different is substituting the cachaça with Premium Vodka. The technique is just like making a mojito.... use a wooden spoon if you don't have a muddler ;)
