Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place 1 quartered fresh lime and 2 teaspoons granulated sugar into a sturdy glass. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to press and twist the lime pieces and sugar together for about 30 seconds, releasing the lime juice and essential oils from the peel.
  2. Step 2: Fill the glass with 1 cup of ice cubes, then pour 2 ounces of cachaça over the ice.
  3. Step 3: Stir vigorously for 20 seconds to chill and mix all ingredients thoroughly.
  4. Step 4: Garnish with a lime wedge and serve immediately for a crisp, tangy taste.
