- ice
Instructions
- Slice a line along wedge edges and remove seeds. Add to glass with sugar. Begin with 2 teaspoons and adjust for sweetness as needed.

RECIPE NOTES
Though not traditional, can substitute 1/2 to 2/3 ounces agave syrup in place of the superfine sugar.
No cachaça? No problem. Can substitute with a good white rum.
or
For Caipiroska cocktail: Use vodka in place of cachaça and turbinado sugar in place of superfine sugar for muddling lime.
