Instructions

Cut the ends off the lime and discard. Slice in half and remove the white pith from the centre, which can make your caipirinha bitter. Cut the lime into 6 to 8 pieces.
Place lime pieces in a glass with the skin facing down. Add sugar. Muddle, avoiding bruising the skin too much to prevent bitterness.
Add ice and cachaça, then stir and serve.
