Ingredients

• 2 oz Cachaça (Brazilian sugarcane spirit)
• 1 whole Fresh lime
• 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
• 1 slice Jalapeño pepper

Directions

Step 1

Cut the lime into quarters and add them to a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker.

Step 2

Add the granulated sugar and the jalapeño slice on top of the lime quarters.

Step 3

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.

Step 5

Pour the cachaça over the ice.

Step 6

Stir the mixture thoroughly to combine the ingredients and chill the cocktail.

Step 7

Step 8

Top with more crushed ice if needed and garnish with an extra jalapeño slice or lime wedge for presentation.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy responsibly.
