Method

Restated from the original video

1. 1

   Roll the lime firmly on the counter, then trim off both ends.

2. 2

   Cut it into eighths and slice away the white core running down the centre, which turns the drink bitter.

3. 3

   Drop the lime pieces into a short, heavy tumbler and sprinkle the sugar over them.

4. 4

   Press and twist with a muddler or the handle of a wooden spoon until the juice is out and the sugar has mostly dissolved, about 30 seconds. Avoid grinding the peel hard.

5. 5

   Fill the glass to the top with ice.

6. 6

   Pour in the cachaça and stir for a few seconds to chill and mix.

7. 7

   Top up with a little more ice if it has sunk, garnish with the lime wedge and serve with a short straw.
