Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass
Chill a coupe or rocks glass in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail. Pour out the ice water (if used) and dry the rim lightly. Moisten the rim with a lime wedge and dip the rim into the teaspoon of sugar to lightly coat it. Set the glass aside.
Mix cocktail
Add 2 oz cachaça, 0.75 oz fresh lime juice, and 0.5 oz simple syrup into a cocktail shaker. Fill the shaker with ice (enough to come about 3/4 full).
Shake
Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is frosty and well chilled, which both chills and dilutes the drink to balance the spirit, acidity, and sweetness.
Strain and serve
Double-strain (using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer if available) into the chilled, sugar-rimmed coupe or over fresh ice in a rocks glass, depending on preference.
Garnish
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge on the rim or floated on top. Serve immediately.
