Ingredients

3/4 to 1 ounce Dale DeGroff’s Simple Syrup

1/2 lime, halved lengthwise and crosswise

2 ounces Cachaca

Large ice cubes

Preparation

In a large, sturdy glass, using a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon, muddle together the simple syrup and lime, to extract the oils from the skin of the lime. Add Cachaca, and fill the glass with ice. Shake vigorously, and pour contents into an old-fashioned glass.
