AdInstructions
- Halve the lime lengthwise, stem end to tip. Cut one half into eight half-moon slices, each about 3-4 mm thick, and put them in the bottom of a sturdy rocks glass.
- Add the sugar (3 bar spoons) and muddle.
- Add the raspberries and muddle again until the juice is fully pressed out and the sugar has dissolved.
- Scrape the muddled fruit and sugar into a highball glass.
- Pour the cachaça, kept in the freezer, into the empty rocks glass and swirl it around to collect what is left on the sides. Pour it into the highball and stir well.
- Break four or five large ice cubes into chunks (cracked, not crushed) and add them to the highball. Stir, then fill the glass up with extra ice.
- Put in the stirrer. Leave the straws out.
