Ingredients
- 2 limes , chopped into wedges, plus extra lime wedges to serve (optional)
- 6 tbsp golden caster sugar
- 200ml cachaça
- few handfuls crushed ice
Method
- STEP 1
Put the lime wedges in a large jug with the sugar, then use a muddler or the end of a rolling pin to break them down. Release as much juice from the wedges as possible, and let it mix with the sugar to create a syrup – you can also do this with a large pestle and mortar. Discard the lime peel.
- STEP 2
Divide the syrup and cachaça between four glasses, then top with the crushed ice. Serve garnished with lime wedges, if you like.
