1
Prepare the Lime
Cut the fresh lime into 8 wedges. Make sure to cut through the flesh to release the juice.
2
Muddle the Ingredients
In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, add the lime wedges and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the limes to release their juice and mix it with the sugar. Do this for about 30 seconds until the sugar is dissolved and the lime juice is released.
3
Add Cachaça and Ice
Pour the cachaça over the muddled lime and sugar mixture. Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
4
Mix the Drink
Using a spoon, gently stir the mixture to combine the flavors, ensuring the sugar is fully dissolved.
5
Garnish and Serve
Optionally, garnish with an extra lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer.
