Caipirinha ((:kajpiˈɾĩj̃ɐ)) is Brazil's national cocktail, made with cachaça () (sugarcane hard liquor), sugar and lime.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lista de Publicações )〕 Cachaça, also known as ''Pinga'' or ''Caninha'', is Brazil's most common distilled alcoholic beverage. Although both rum and cachaça are made from sugarcane-derived products, in cachaça the alcohol results from the fermentation of fresh sugarcane juice that is then distilled, while rum is usually made from refinery by-products such as molasses. The drink is prepared by smashing the fruit and the sugar together, and adding the liquor. This can be made into a single glass, usually large, that can be shared amongst people, or into a larger jar, from where it is served in individual glasses. ==History== Although the real origins of caipirinha, as it is known today, are unknown, according to one account it began around 1918 in the state of São Paulo with a popular recipe made with lime, garlic and honey, indicated for patients with the Spanish flu. Today it is still being used as a remedy for the common cold. As it was quite common to add some distilled spirits to home remedies, in order to expedite the therapeutic effect, rum was commonly used. "Until one day someone decided to remove the garlic and honey. Then added a few tablespoons sugar to reduce the acidity of lime. The ice came next, to ward off the heat," explains Carlos Lima, executive director of IBRAC (Brazilian Institute of Cachaça).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Receitas de Drinques - Drinquepedia )〕 With time, caipirinha began to spread throughout Brazil, but it wasn’t until 1922 that it went global. In that year, Brazilian modernists selected caipirinha to serve as the official drink of Brazil in an international event called the Modern Art Week. From then on, the recipe was taken to Paris by French modernists and took on the world. Despite its huge popularity, it wasn’t until recently that caipirinha was officiated as an official Brazilian drink. In 2003, the elected President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (commonly known as Lula), passed a law to turn caipirinha into the official drink of Brazil and standardized the recipe under Law number 4.851 of 01.10.2003. However, that law was heavily modified in 2009, when all explicit mention of Caiprinha was removed, Presidential Decree number 6871 of June 4, 2009,〔http://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/_Ato2007-2010/2009/Decreto/D6871.htm.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「caipirinha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
