Cut the edges of the lime and then make cuts in the middle.

Remove the white part of the lime to avoid bitterness.

Cut the lime into eight pieces.

Place all lime pieces in a short glass for muddling.

Use a muddler to gently smash the lime, avoiding the skin to prevent bitterness.

Add 10 tablespoons of sugar to the glass with the muddled lime.

Mix the sugar thoroughly with the lime, going all the way to the bottom of the glass.

Pour cachaça over the lime and sugar mixture.
