The Caipirinha, which has swept the nation as the newest, hottest cocktail and is coveted by mixologists from cityscape to seaside, is now available across the nation. Leblon's Caipirinha Mix is made from fresh juicy limes and pure cane sugar. Each bottle makes about eight cocktails.

Conjure the spirit of Brazil this spring and Be Brazilian: Combine two parts Caipirinha Mix and one part Leblon Cachaca with ice. Stir or shake, and serve on the rocks with a lime wedge garnish. For a "party punch," pour two bottles of mix and one bottle of Leblon Cachaca in a punch bowl. Add ice.

Leblon Cachaca is winner of the Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and seven consecutive medals with the title "Best Cachaca" in the same competition from 2006 to 2012. Handcrafted in Minas Gerais, Leblon leads cachaca sales in Hollywood, New York, Miami, London, and Paris and is considered to be the best white cachaca on the market.

Leblon's non-alcoholic mix is in stores ($9.99) and at Leblon.com ($12+S&H). To experience Leblon, a noble, pure spirit that is anything but the typical, harsh industrial cachaca or to buy the mix, visit www.leblon.com.
