AdInstructions
- Halve the lime lengthwise from stem to tip. Cut one half into eight half-moon slices about 3-4 mm thick and drop them into the bottom of a sturdy rocks glass.
- Add the sugar and muddle.
- Add the red grapes and muddle again until all the juice is pressed out and the sugar has dissolved.
- Tip the muddled fruit and sugar into a highball glass.
- Pour the cachaça, kept in the freezer, and the Sauternes into the rocks glass and swirl to pick up what is left on the sides. Pour into the highball glass and stir to combine.
- Crack four or five large ice cubes with an ice tapper rather than crushing them, and add them to the glass. Stir, then top with more ice.
- Serve with a stirrer and no straw.
