The sweet-tart drink calls for just three ingredients: lime, sugar, and cachaça, a sugarcane liquor that's like a smokier version of rum. Ingredients 1 lime 2 ounces cachaça 1 teaspoon sugar Ice Directions Cut lime into 6 wedges. Squeeze the wedges into an old-fashioned glass, then add wedges. Add cachaça and sugar; use a spoon to muddle. Fill glass with ice, then stir well to chill. Bryan Gardner Rate it Print
