Ingredients

1 fresh lime, cut into 8 wedges
2 tsp granulated white sugar (or raw demerara)
2 oz cachaca (Brazilian sugarcane spirit; substitute white rum if unavailable)
1 cup crushed ice

Instructions

1

Place 1 cut into 8 wedges fresh lime wedges in a sturdy rocks glass or lowball glass.
2

Add 2 tsp granulated white sugar (or raw demerara) directly over the lime.
3

Muddle firmly with a muddler or the back of a spoon, pressing down and twisting to release all the juice and essential oils from the lime skin. Muddle vigorously for about 30 seconds.

Fill the glass generously with 1 cup crushed ice.
5

Pour 2 oz cachaca (Brazilian sugarcane spirit; substitute white rum if unavailable) over the ice. Stir well with a bar spoon until the sugar is fully dissolved and the drink is well chilled, about 20 to 30 seconds.
6

Taste and add a little more sugar if desired. Serve immediately.
