AdInstructions
- Halve the lime from pole to pole, then cut one half into eight half-moon slices, about 3-4 mm thick.
- Put the lime slices in a sturdy rocks glass and muddle them. Add the blackberries and keep muddling until all the juice has been pressed out.
- Scrape the muddled fruit into the highball glass (ideally around 30 cl) and add the agave syrup.
- Pour the freezer-cold cachaça into the muddling glass and swirl it round to pick up what is left, then tip it into the highball glass. Stir well.
- Break four or five large ice cubes into chunks rather than crushing them, add them to the glass and stir again.
- Fill up with extra ice, put a stirrer in the glass and serve without straws.
