AdInstructions
- Halve the lime from pole to pole. Cut one half into eight half-moon segments, about 3-4 mm thick, and drop them into the bottom of a sturdy rocks glass.
- Add the sugar and muddle.
- Halve the passion fruit, scoop the pulp into the same glass and muddle again until the juice is fully pressed out and the sugar has dissolved.
- Tip the muddled fruit and sugar into a highball glass.
- Pour the cachaça, ideally kept in the freezer, into the muddling glass and swirl it round to rinse the glass, then pour it into the highball glass. Stir to combine.
- Crack four to five large ice cubes, rather than crushing them, and drop them in. Stir, then top up with more ice.
- Serve with a stirrer instead of a straw.
