This Brazilian cocktail is considered the national drink. Cachaca and lime muddled with sugar and served over ice makes a delicious, and strong libation.
1 lime, cut into slices
1 – 1 ½ teaspoons superfine sugar
2 ounces cachaça
In a Hi-Ball or Old Fashioned glass, place 3 or 4 lime slices and the sugar. Use a cocktail muddler to press as much of the juice from the lime slices.
Pour in the liquor and stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
Fill the glass with ice and stir again.
Garnish with a slice of lime on the rim of the glass.
