The Caipirinha is Brazil’s national cocktail, made with cachaça, which is distilled from sugarcane. This version comes together in a Mason jar, which is ideal for portable sippers. The jars can be used to carry a premixed drink, or take a suggestion from Mix: Make and shake a drink in the jar, which then can double as the glass.
