I removed much of the content of this page, as it violates WP:NOT (see the section on "Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information", point 8). However, the content is contained within the wikibooks article which I have linked to. --Xyzzyplugh 03:14, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation

I was having a hard time with the IPA editing of the pronunciation I added. Can someone fix it? (Or look at it at least?) Thanks!--will 08:17, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lemon or Lime?

Being a Brazilian-born alcohol drinker, who lived there for almost 30 years, I was a bit shaken (not stirred) to find that people everywhere else make the drink with limes. Well, the lime looks exactly like our lemon, but it doesn't taste the same (less acid). So what's the truth? Some people have reassured me that what we call a lemon is actually a lime; since I haven't seen a lime that tastes like the lemon I'm used to, I don't quite believe this theory. Does anyone have a definitive answer?

Meanwhile, I can say this to anyone wanting to make the drink: it can taste great with lemon or lime equally, but you need the most acid fruit you can get, and not sweet at all. The regular ("key") limes are too soft for a good caipirinha. LaloMartins 10:52, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
