Step inside Texas de Brasil's South Beach location, and you'll find yourself welcomed by a classy atmosphere and an all-you-can-eat buffet. While the cuts of meat -- the juicy skirt steak and chicken with bacon -- definitely stand out, the fiesta doesn't begin until you try one of the signature caipirinhas or caipiroskas. Then challenge yourself to make it at home.

D.I.Y.

Caipirinha: Prepare a chilled cocktail glass. Cut a lime into eighths, put in bottom of the glass. Spoon in 2 teaspoons of cane sugar; crush lime. Add crushed ice, 2 ounces of cachaça, and garnish with a lime wedge.

Mango Caipiroska: Chill cocktail shaker and muddle three mango slices with a teaspoon of sugar. Add 1 ½ ounces of Absolut Mango Vodka, ice and shake. Serve in a cocktail glass.

F.Y.I.

Cocktails are around $11 at Texas de Brasil, 300 Alton Rd., Suite 200, Miami Beach; 305-695-7702.
