Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lime

    Cut the fresh lime into 8 wedges. This will help release the juices when muddled.

    Muddle the Ingredients

    In a sturdy glass, place the lime wedges and sprinkle the sugar over them. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently press down to release the lime juice and dissolve the sugar. Do not pulverize the lime; just release the juice.

  3. 3

    Add Cachaça

    Pour the cachaça over the muddled mixture in the glass.

  4. 4

    Add Ice

    Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.

  5. 5

    Mix the Drink

    Using a spoon, stir the drink well to combine all the flavors.

Garnishing

  1. 6

    Garnish

    Add a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for garnish.
