    Check you local Lidl.

    They have some in their promotions. IIRC it was €20 for 750ml

    Cachaca, lime (half to one), sugar syrup (or caster sugar) to taste. Muddle the lime with the sugar syurp in a lowball, add the ice and the cachaca.

    Never seen any in lidl in pottery road or in deans grange, guess i'll get some in that shop in dawson street when i get a chance.

    Or, if you have a drinks mixer, shot of cachaca, half a lime (cut into segments and squeezed), two teaspoons of sugar and a fair bit of ice. Shake until the ice is fairly crushed, then pour into the glass.

    In Brazil, a 1L bottle of cachaca costs about €2 (most other drinks are just below Irish prices).

    If you can't get cachaca, a strong rum will do. Cachaca on its own tastes like ashtray.
