AdInstructions
- Halve the lime lengthwise. Cut one half into eight half-moon slices, about 3-4 mm thick, and drop them into the bottom of a sturdy rocks glass.
- Add the sugar and muddle.
- Add the chopped strawberries and keep muddling until the juice is fully pressed out and the sugar has dissolved.
- Transfer the muddled fruit and sugar to the highball glass, preferably one that holds 30 cl.
- Pour the cachaça, kept in the freezer, into the glass you muddled in and swirl it around to rinse. Pour it into the highball glass and stir until everything is combined.
- Break four or five large ice cubes into chunks rather than crushing them, add them to the glass and stir. Fill up with more ice and put in a stirrer, no straws.
