The Caipirosca cocktail is a popular drink in Brazil and is made with fresh lime, sugar, vodka, and ice. The cocktail is similar to the Caipirinha, which is made with cachaca, a type of Brazilian rum. However, the Caipirosca uses vodka instead, making it a lighter and fresher alternative. The Caipirosca cocktail is perfect for hot summer days and is easy to make, even for novice bartenders. It's also a great option for parties or gatherings as it can be made in large batches.

1.	Cut the lime into quarters and place them in a glass.
2.	Add the sugar and muddle the lime and sugar together.
3.	Add the vodka to the glass and stir well.
4.	Add ice cubes to the glass and stir again.
5.	Serve and enjoy!
