Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 whole Limes
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 ounces Vodka
- 1 cup Ice cubes
Instructions
Wash the limes thoroughly, then cut each lime into quarters.
Place the lime quarters into a sturdy glass (such as an old-fashioned or rocks glass).
Add the granulated sugar to the glass.
Using a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon, gently muddle the limes and sugar together to release the lime juice and dissolve the sugar. Be careful not to over-muddle, as this can make the cocktail bitter.
Add the vodka to the glass and stir to combine the flavors.
Fill the glass with ice cubes to the top.
Stir again to chill the drink evenly.
Garnish with a lime wheel or wedge if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your Caipirosca!
