Cocktail Preparation

Muddle the Limes

Cut the fresh limes into wedges and place them in a glass. Add the granulated sugar on top of the limes.

Muddle Together

Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to press down on the limes and sugar. Muddle until the limes release their juice and the sugar is dissolved.

Add Alcohol

Pour your choice of cachaça rum, vodka, sake, or tequila over the muddled lime and sugar mixture.

Mix and Serve

Stir the mixture gently to combine. Fill the glass with crushed ice and give it another brief stir. Optionally, garnish with a lime wedge.
