MAKES 1

Some Brazilians substitute vodka for the fiery cachaça (sugarcane brandy) in this classic drink and call the result a caipiroska.

2 washed limes
2-3 tbsp. sugar
2-1 /1/2 oz. cachaça
ice

1. Cut 2 washed limes into sixths, put into a sturdy 14-oz. lowball glass, and add 2–3 tbsp. sugar.

2. Using a pestle or a small wooden spoon, muddle limes and sugar together. Add 2–2 1/2 oz. cachaça, fill glass with ice, and stir well. Serve garnished with a slice of lime.
