Red Caipirinha (Updated)

Capirinha is the beloved and traditional Brazilian drink. Extremely well balanced taste of cachaça, sugar and lime.
However, this drink is no longer confined by borders and therefore has perpetrated the bars and clubs of Europe.
I decided that the lively, but boring, greenish color of the drink needs an update. A really simple one.
Here comes the Red Caipirinha:



The standard elements include.(thank you Wikipedia)
And after you
  • mash the lime with the sugar
  • add the ice
  • add 1 red strawberry (preferably sour) cut in 4 wedges or cranberries
  • Finally add the cachaca
Leave the strawberry or cranberries in the ice or crush to release the colour.
Voila!
