Makes 1 serving

This drink is a unique Brazilian mix of limes and their sugar cane rum called cachaca. Simple, citric and refreshing.

Ingredients
1 fruit lime
1 1/2 fl oz rum, distilled 80 proof
1 tbsp sugar, cane
2 tbsp water
1/2 cup ice, crushed
Directions
  1. Cut up the lime in 3/4" cubes.

  2. Muddle cubbed lime with sugar. Do not over do it to avoid bitterness due to lime rinds. (rinds should never be peeled off.)

  3. Pour over a shaker.

  4. Pour the rum (Cachaca) in the muddling container, swish it and pour into the shaker.

  5. Add ice and water.

  6. Shake vigorously for about 30 seconds.
