Ingredients
1 quart water
1 quart sugar
6 limes, each cut into 8 wedges
3 cups crushed ice
2 cups cachaca liquor
Directions
- In a saucepan over medium heat, stir together the water and sugar. Simmer until sugar has melted completely. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Wash the lime gently under water and dry. In a large pitcher, pour in the cooled sugar syrup, 5 lime wedges and muddle gently to crush the fruit but not release too much of the oils from the skin. Add ice and cachaca, and stir. Serve in a large glass garnished with a lime wedge.
