- Select and pre-chill a HIGHBALL (MAX 10OZ/300ML) GLASS.
- Prepare garnish of stirrer (spoon, wooden lolly stick or stick cut from sugar cane).
- CUT lime in half (from pole to pole) and then slice one of the halves into eight 3-4mm thick half-moon shaped segments and drop into the base of a robust rocks glass.
- Add 3 bar spoons caster sugar (or ½oz / 15ml sugar syrup 2:1) and MUDDLE.

- POUR cachaça (stored in the freezer) into the rocks glass (used to muddle) and swirl to rinse glass before pouring cachaça into serving glass.

- Fill glass with ice. (If using large ice cubes, crack (rather than crush) four to five large ice cubes using an ICE TAPPER and drop into serving glass.)
