1
Prepare the Lime
Cut the fresh lime into 8 wedges. Set aside.
2
Muddle the Lime and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, place the lime wedges and sprinkle the granulated sugar over them. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down on the lime wedges to release their juices and mix with the sugar. Do this until the sugar is dissolved and the lime is well muddled.
3
Add Cachaça
Pour 50 ml of Leblon Cachaça over the muddled lime and sugar mixture in the glass.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes until it's nearly full.
5
Mix the Cocktail
Using a spoon, gently stir the mixture to combine the flavors of lime, sugar, and cachaça.
6
Serve
Garnish with a lime wheel on the rim of the glass if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your Classic Caipirinha on the rocks!
