AdInstructions
- Halve a ripe lime from pole to pole. Cut the white core out of each half with a V-shaped cut.
- Use one half per drink: cut it into wedges, halve each wedge and drop the 6 to 8 pieces into a rocks glass. Add the kiwi, cut into pieces.
- Add the Demerara / Dark Muscovado / Brown Sugar and the Simple Syrup. Muddle hard until all the lime juice is pressed out but the sugar has not yet fully dissolved.
- Pour in the cachaça, kept in the freezer, and stir with a spoon.
- Fill the glass with ice offcuts, the cubes that did not freeze into a neat shape. They melt faster and give steady dilution. Stir, then top with more ice offcuts.
- Garnish with a kiwi slice.
