    Michael,
    I do respect your overall knowledge and skill, but you botched this one with a lot of misinformation.
    Cachaca (pronounced kah-SHAW-sah isn't remotely Cuban, as has already been pointed out by others. Ropa Vieja isn't "old rags" in Spanish - it's "old clothes." And how many different ways can you find to pronounce "caipirinha?" This may not seem like a big deal to you, but it is to people who know and love this food. Also, it undermines your credibility, causing us to wonder what else you're getting wrong.

    water - not in my caipirinha - no thanks! If you notice, most of the drinks Michael makes on the program contain very little liquor - this is barely more than way too sweet limeade.

    I love how chefs decide what is a dish from a given country. As a cuban, (and I asked my wife, my mother and my mother in Law Never heard of this drink nor Cachaca. By the way, when you have a Cuban dish and it calls for hotsauce, chili or something of that ilk, trust me it is defenitely not Cuban. I did not try the recipe so I did not rate it and was forced to rate it so I gave it a neutral 3. It wouldn't have been fair.

    I'm not sure how he can call this a Caipirinha. My best friend is Brazilian, so I have had this many times and love it. I have never seen it made with water this way. After trying it, I know why. Don't waste good cachaca on this one

    I love all his recipes , but being a brazilian I have to tell that this is not the way we make our national drink. We never use water , only lime, cachaca and sugar mashed together and them we add ice cubes.
