Cachaça, muddled lime and sugar: Brazil in a glass, raw and direct.
Ingredients
- 6 cl cachaça
- 1 piece lime
- 2 tsp cane sugar
- fill the glass crushed ice
Method
- Cut the lime into eight wedges, removing the white central pith, which causes bitterness.
- Place the wedges and sugar in a sturdy old fashioned glass.
- Muddle firmly: you want to extract the juice AND the oils from the skin, the sugar acts as an abrasive.
- Fill the glass with crushed ice.
- Pour in the cachaça and stir from bottom to top to pull the sugar up from the bottom.
- Top with crushed ice and serve with a short straw.
