Noticed a good article on cachaca a couple of weeks ago:

(Here's the Caipirinha recipe included)
*
CAIPIRINHA
1/2 lime, quartered
2 tsp sugar
2 oz cachaça
crushed ice
• Muddle sugar and lime wedges in the bottom of a sturdy, short, flat-bottomed glass. But don't crush too vigorously, or the lime-peel will release overly bitter oils. Add cachaça and crushed ice, and stir.*

I then noticed all the different brands of cachaca available at a local liquor store. I had no idea!
