AdInstructions
- Halve the lime from pole to pole. Cut one half into eight half-moons, each about 3–4 mm thick, and put them in the bottom of a sturdy rocks glass.
- Add the sugar (3 bar spoons of caster sugar) and muddle.
- Add the fig and muddle again.
- Once the juice is fully pressed out and the sugar has dissolved, tip the contents into a highball glass of about 30 cl.
- Pour the freezer-cold cachaça and the gin into the empty rocks glass and swirl them around to pick up what is left on the sides. Pour into the highball glass and stir to combine.
- Break four or five large ice cubes into chunks without crushing them, and add them to the glass. Stir, then fill up with more ice.
- Garnish with a stirrer.
