Brazil’s beloved cocktail is made with a sweet rum called cachaça, sugar, ice, and fresh lime. Without the lime, it’s just “meh.”

Stinky kitchen? Slice up a lime, toss it in a pot with water, and simmer away. But don’t stray too far! Once that water evaporates, the lime slices can easily burn. You’ve been warned.

10. And occasionally make us feel like we’re on a tropical island
