The database behind this site was the loving creation of Suzy Oakes, who has since passed away. She is greatly missed. You can see her obituary in the Guardian

A cookbook, featuring Suzy's favourite recipies, is available. People who are interested should contact Mun Flint. Currently, the cost is £12.50 plus postage and packing. All proceeds go to the Suzy Oakes Trust for Mill Road.

caipirinha

Description: Cachaça, white spirit distilled from sugar cane juice, crushed lime, sugar and ice cubes. Alex Baker kindly wrote in to say that "There should be no lemon juice added as the crushed limes produce the citrus juice. The oils in the skin of the limes also give the drink its distinctive character. The ice should also be crushed ice or the cubes shaken with the ingredients to break them up and served with the drink."
