Peel the tangerines and separate them into segments. Remove any seeds if necessary.
Cut the lime into quarters.
In a sturdy glass, add the tangerine segments, lime quarters, and granulated sugar.
Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the ingredients together to release the juices and dissolve the sugar. Aim to break up the tangerine segments slightly, but don’t over-muddle.
Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving enough room for the liquid ingredients.
Pour the cachaça over the ice and gently stir to combine.
Garnish with a tangerine slice or a lime wedge for a decorative touch, if desired.
Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer to enjoy.
