Ingredients

6 cl Cachaça (sugar cane schnapps)
4 teaspoons, heaped cane sugar, white or brown (ground)
1 lime (s)
ice

Instructions

Wash the lime under hot water and pat dry.
Roll the lime firmly on the work surface with pressure to soften it.
Cut the lime into eighths; remove and discard the white centers.
Place the lime pieces in a glass and add 4 teaspoons of ground cane sugar.
Mash the lime pieces with a pestle for 1-2 minutes until you extract all the juice and the sugar is well mixed.
Fill the glass to the rim with crushed ice.
Pour 6 cl of room-temperature cachaça over the ice until the liquid reaches the same level as the ice.
Pour the mixture into another glass, then pour it back into the original glass; repeat this process 2-3 more times to ensure thorough mixing.
Fill the glass to the top with crushed ice.
Garnish with a lime slice if desired, insert two straws, and serve immediately.
