Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz Cachaça
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sugar
  • Limes

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Lime: Cut a fresh lime into quarters and place them in the bottom of a rocks glass.
  • Add Sugar: Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of granulated sugar over the lime wedges
  • Muddle with Care: Using a muddler, gently press the lime and sugar together to release the lime’s juice and aromatic oils. Avoid over-muddling, which can release bitter flavors from the pith.
  • Add Cachaça: Pour 2 ounces of cachaça over the lime and sugar mixture.
  • Top with Ice: Fill the glass with crushed ice, giving the drink a refreshing chill.
  • Mix and Serve: Stir the drink gently with a bar spoon to combine the ingredients.
  • Garnish with a lime wedge, if desired, and serve immediately.
