Ingredients

2 whole Fresh tangerines
1 whole Lime
2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
2 ounces Cachaça
1 cup Ice cubes
1 optional Tangerine slices or lime wedges (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the tangerines and separate them into segments. Remove any seeds if necessary.

Step 2

Cut the lime into quarters.

Step 3

In a sturdy glass, add the tangerine segments, lime quarters, and granulated sugar.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Fill the glass with ice cubes, leaving enough room for the liquid ingredients.

Step 6

Pour the cachaça over the ice and gently stir to combine.

Step 7

Garnish with a tangerine slice or a lime wedge for a decorative touch, if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately with a straw or stirrer to enjoy.
