Pour in enough brandy to cover the berries. Add equal portions of the remaining berries and brandy to reach the top of the jar's lip; make sure that all the berries are covered by the brandy. Pour in just enough brandy to begin a small overflow, then tightly cap the jar and wipe the outside clean. Allow to steep in a cool, dark place for 2 months. Or, tape a piece of black construction paper around the jar. Every 2 weeks, gently shake the jar to distribute the flavors. After 2 months, gently pour the jar's contents through a regular strainer or sieve; discard the residue. Follow this by 2 strainings through slightly dampened cheesecloth or through a large clean coffee filter placed inside a funnel; loosely cover the contents with plastic wrap, since the process may take several hours. In a small pan, combine the sugar, water, and lemon zest. Bring to a boil over moderate-high heat. Simmer, uncovered for 5 minutes. Let cool to room temperature. Add the optional glycerine, if desired. Funnel into a glass bottle, then funnel in the sugar syrup through a strainer, to remove the zest. Cover tightly; shake to blend. Let mature at room temperature, or slightly cooler, for at least 1 month. Can use vodka instead of brandy. From "Glorious Liqueurs," Mary Morris. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nutr.

Cut the lime into thin slices (8ths and leave some of the peel) and put at least four slices of it in a glass for whiskey and add the sugar. 2. Add the crushed icecubes to the glass. 3. Now add the pinga (a distilled drink from sugarcane). Make sure the alcohol just covers the lime pieces and mash this mixture well, using a little wooden stick or pettle (buy this with your bottle of pinga). If you really can't find any pinga, try vodka or a good jamaican rum, same effect only the taste will be different...).When the alcohol is slightly green and the limes look pretty wrecked, it's ready for (ab)use. An alternative (faster) way of making the caipirinha is to put the mixture of cachaça, limes, sugar and crushed ice in a shaker and pretend if you're marching in a samba band.... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Per serving: 20 Calories (kcal); trace Total Fat; (3% calories from fat); trace Protein; 7g Carbohydrate; 0mg Cholesterol; 1mg Sodium Food Exchanges: 0 Grain(Starch); 0 Lean Meat; 0 Vegetable; 1/2 Fruit; 0 Fat; 0 Other Carbohydrates Nutr.
