Method

  1. 1

    Cut one lime into eighths.

  2. 2

    Add only 6 of the 8 lime pieces to the glass.

  3. 3

    Add the brown cane sugar.

  4. 4

    Gently muddle the lime to release juice and aromatic oils.

  5. 5

    Add the cachaca.

  6. 6

    Fill generously with crushed ice.

  7. 7

    Stir thoroughly.

Bartender's note

Use plenty of ice and fresh untreated limes because the peel contributes aromatic oils.
