Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Prepare the Lime
Cut the lime into 8 wedges. This will help release the juice.
Muddle the Ingredients
In a glass, add the lime wedges and sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the lime to release the juice and mix it with the sugar. Do not pulverize the lime; just press enough to get the juice out.
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving some space at the top.
Mix and Serve
Stir the mixture gently to combine all the ingredients. You can garnish with a lime wedge if desired. Serve immediately.
