Caipirinha
Built in the glass, so there's nothing to wash up but the glass.
Ingredients
- 60 ml cachaça
- 1 lime, cut into eight wedges
- 2 teaspoons caster sugar
- Ice
Method
- Put the lime wedges and sugar in the glass and muddle — press and twist, don't pulverise. You're after the juice and the oil in the skin, not the bitter pith.
- Fill with crushed ice and pour the cachaça over.
- Stir up from the bottom until the glass frosts.
