Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 limes , chopped into wedges, plus extra lime wedges to serve (optional)
5 tbsp golden caster sugar
200ml cachaça
ice

Steps:

  • Put the lime wedges in a large jug with the sugar, then use a muddler or the end of a rolling pin to break them down. Release as much juice from the wedges as possible, and let it mix with the sugar to create a syrup - you can also do this with a large pestle and mortar. Discard the lime peel.
  • Divide the syrup and cachaça between four glasses, then top with the crushed ice. Serve garnished with lime wedges, if you like.
