Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut each lime in half, avoiding the white skin in the middle, and proceed to cut the halves into 4 pieces.
  2. Put the limes, sugar and cachaça in a cocktail shaker and muddle them well until the juice is released. Add ice and shake vigorously. 
  3. Pour everything from the cocktail shaker into a cup; do not strain it into a cup — the lime pieces are supposed to be there. Serve.

Cook’s Note

Do not use simple syrup. The sugar grains are supposed to be in the drink.
