Ingredients
1 1 lime (cut into 8 wedges)
2 teaspoons 2 sugar
60 ml 60 cachaça

Instructions
- In a rocks glass, add the lime wedges and sugar. Use a muddler (or the back of a wooden spoon) to gently press and crush the limes, releasing the juice while dissolving the sugar. Aim for a balance of juice and oils from the lime peel to create a well-rounded flavor.
- Pourthe cachaça over the muddled lime and sugar mixture. Stir gently with a bar spoon to blend the ingredients.
- Fill the glass with ice cubes, preferably crushed for a more authentic feel.
- Give the cocktail one final stir to chill and blend everything together.
