My wife and I have enjoyed making Caipirinhas at home since having them at a local Brazilian restaurant. Last night we tried making them adding mango nectar and enjoyed the result immensely, but couldn't decide what to call it since "Mango Caipirinha" might not have lime, but lime is essential to a Caipirinha. Our internet search brought up Bobby Flay's "Mango Lime Caipirinha" as the first result and it was almost exactly like our concoction, but sweeter. So, we too are calling our drink "Mango Lime Caipirinha", but use 2 teaspoons sugar to muddle with the lime slices in a double old-fashion glass to accommodate the additional 2 ounces of mango nectar. Excellent!<br />
