AdInstructions
- Slice the lime in two lengthwise, pole to pole. Cut one half into eight thin half-moons, roughly 3-4 mm, and put them in the bottom of a solid rocks glass.
- Pour over the sugar and press and twist with the muddler.
- Add the sliced kiwi and muddle further.
- Check that the fruit has given up all its juice and the sugar is dissolved, then tip the contents into a highball glass (about 30 cl).
- Chill-rinse the muddling glass with freezer-cold cachaça, swirling it so it collects the remains, and pour it into the highball glass. Stir thoroughly.
- Break four or five large ice cubes into rough chunks instead of crushing them. Add them and stir.
- Finish by filling the glass with extra ice and add a stirrer. Skip the straws.
