Preparation Instructions
Prepare the Lime
Cut the fresh lime into 8 wedges. Set aside.
Muddle the Ingredients
In a sturdy glass, add the lime wedges and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press down on the lime wedges, releasing their juice and mixing it with the sugar. Do this for about 30 seconds until the sugar is somewhat dissolved.
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
Mix the Cocktail
Using a spoon or a straw, stir the mixture gently to combine all the ingredients well.
Serve
Garnish with a lime wedge if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your refreshing Caipirinha!
