Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 oz Cachaça (Brazilian sugarcane spirit)
- 1 whole Fresh lime
- 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
- 1 slice Jalapeño pepper
- 1 cup Crushed ice
Instructions
Cut the lime into quarters and add them to a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker.
Add the granulated sugar and the jalapeño slice on top of the lime quarters.
Use a muddler to gently mash the limes, sugar, and jalapeño together to release the lime juice and jalapeño flavor. Avoid over-muddling as this can make the drink bitter.
Fill the glass or shaker with crushed ice until nearly full.
Pour the cachaça over the ice.
Stir the mixture thoroughly to combine the ingredients and chill the cocktail.
Transfer the cocktail, including the lime pieces and jalapeño, into a serving glass if prepared in a shaker.
Top with more crushed ice if needed and garnish with an extra jalapeño slice or lime wedge for presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy responsibly.
