Dave's Caipirinha
0
A caipirinha built on tequila blanco instead of cachaça: muddled lime and sugar over a clean agave spirit. Sharp, sweet and simple.

AdInstructions
- Halve a ripe lime lengthwise and cut the core out of each half with a V-shaped notch.
- Cut one half, which is enough for one drink, into wedges. Halve each wedge so you end up with six to eight chunks, and put them in the bottom of a shaker tin.
- Add the sugar and muddle. If the ice is hard and fresh from the freezer, muddle in a splash of cold water as well. If it is already wet, leave the water out.
- Once the lime juice is fully pressed out and the sugar has dissolved, pour the mix into the serving glass, preferably one that holds 30 cl.
- Pour the tequila blanco, kept in the freezer, into the empty tin and swirl to rinse it. Pour it into the serving glass and stir.
- 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.
