AdInstructions
- Halve the lime lengthways through the stem ends, then cut one half into eight thin half-moons, 3–4 mm thick, and put them in the bottom of a sturdy rocks glass.
- Add the sugar and muddle.
- Add the banana slices and muddle again until the lime juice is fully released and the sugar has dissolved.
- Tip the muddled fruit and sugar into a highball glass.
- Pour the cachaça, kept ice-cold from the freezer, into the empty muddling glass first and swirl it around to rinse out what is left, then pour it into the highball glass. Stir to combine.
- Break four to five large ice cubes into rough chunks rather than fine crush, and drop them into the glass. Stir, then fill up with more ice.
- Garnish with a stirrer and serve without straws.
