This month Friday the 13th doesn’t have to mean bad luck. Fortunately this Friday September 13th also happens to be National Caipirinha Day, and the Brazilian steakhouse Fogo de Chão  is offering $5 caipirinhas all day long.

For reference, caipirinhas are the official cocktail of Brazil, and feature cachaça (the native spirit of Brazil, distilled from pure cane sugar), freshly muddled limes and sugar. Check below for a recipe to make your own at home.

2. Slice lime thinly against the direction of the core.

3. Place sliced lime in a rocks glass and add two tablespoons of sugar.

4. Muddle lime and sugar together to extract the natural juice of the lime.

5. Fill glass to the brim with ice, and add 2 oz. of cachaça.
